simulated heads
flap
rubber jaws
autopilot eyes
spiral
on screens
tin foil
reactions
jitter
a plastic tiger
skulks
through the clutter
one click
purges
the inert mass of suffering
Listen to my reading of this poem on Twitter:
mainframe iterations
Tag: micropoetry
uroboros
I’m going where
I know I’ve been
when I was older
than I am now
I used to chew
on milk cartons
now I chew
on my pens
the pantyhose
around my neck
used to be
an umbilical cord
introspection
as soon as the sloshy pool is framed neat the bottom falls out its contents gush over the sentient terrain
safety
until the crooked hand rests reeling displaced movements spin the stone of silk into a fetal position old form full potential
screened glory
what was hidden retracts by a fingertip closets ransacked again jaws ajar like a box trap planks busted up to look that way taut faces snapped open at the quick flight down the external spine what was hidden flickers in the shadows
windblown seed
untraceable reactions built up in the filaments of this mature form intertwine with the forgotten origins and vanishing responses of other bodies fruiting amnesia
dance obscura
light dances on memory's floor counter-movements shift from body to shadow gestures transfer code the dancer becomes emulsion for other floors
seamstress
careful she listens observes says a few words to gently pull off the costume she waits for others to take a turn for her awareness cradles all
malaise
stagnant water reflect a dull sky dim lights flicker in a stubborn box dust flaps against glass
the pull of sleep
a vine widens its grasp over neglected backyards broken fences wobble in slow collapse a burrow sucks in animate bodies loosened memories dry up and fall away
