to the never end end

between the lines
steam cleaning
the aardvark suit

insect eggs
your metallic skin 

a short distance
from prosperity peace
to the gallows tree

makeshift morgue 
her legs 
legs 

in the treasure cave
a cache of lipstick

6 hand me downs 
  a tree clown 
  eats a lemon

snake bitten apple
she picks licorice
from her teeth

crocodile handbag 
the rhododendron glitching 

in the sacred grove
ancestors tell me
how to feel alive

with no cure in sight 
you tie your feet 
to a birch

that bacon-smoked smell
the other cheek turns

12 images of mars 
    after he falls 
    you hold his head

behind the backyard fence
weed death dreams
up in smoke

last stop on the bus route 
the top of a goose’s head 

from a great height
liver pate consumes
the hot summer morning

the virus
nothing but two clocks
eating a sandwich

earth’s last cream pie
in the face of global warming

18   soft oblivion 
    all the b-roll 
    full of cactus

what a prickly start to the fan fair
some baseballs
more equal than others

beyond neptune 
a ceasefire 

from the lower clouds
ball lightning
sinks the 2nd rebound

cold morning
full of clouds
your twitter feed

inside the dimensional interstices
droopy dali pocket watches

24  broken clock 
    learning the terror 
    of being

cut out of the herd
time to pause
the stockyard

in the child’s sandpit
a bee makes a nest

underarm deodorant
a sardine can
gurgles then sinks

tomato infinity 
all the small yellows
in bloom

without orchid violence
the shining path resigns itself

30   as he goes by
    the vinegary smell 
    of ink

dressing down a salad
to give up
the last leaves

first-draft 
she being alive

synchronized quantum spin
interstitches a new universe
in no time

egg sand 
to catch the breeze 
with a breeze

down the flatulent wormhole
a mother cries the toast is ruined

36 sauna coals 
   you fall in love 
   with the ant god

facing trails of flame
a short walk
into the sun

we imitate the problems
of orange squids

dilemmas of choice
the monkey brain
picks at time lice

white whale 
searching for 
a childhood movie

imagine a gossamer web flicker
bargain basement prices on mr. soul

42  winter blossom 
    undeserving 
   of his love

buried in snow
boundaries break
a runny nose

behind the mourning couple 
teenagers playing frisbee 

spinning plates
on a pine log
run home

whilst dropping fish 
the plane 
has second thoughts

throughout the flight
double fast heartbeats

48 turning on ice
   the sound 
  of a million insects

ears buzzing 
locust bean 
gummy bears drum

positioning his arms 
to augment his biceps

slippery slope
come to arrest
the child’s play

chalk cliffs
the dna 
of bananas 

from the monkey mind
a chaotic leap of faith

54 standing on 
  the dealer’s head 
  you kill an ant

inside the smokehouse
John Philip Sousa
strangles a duck

from the bird hide 
a deep sense of shame 

polar bears cry
the hot sun
burns back

tangerines and sea air
your heart eaten 
by a giant monster

as the bombshell smokes
another spent wad ejects

60 inside the melon 
   you find a tuna fish slowly 
   but happily swimming

apple worms play to no applause 
the whole-note
truncated symphony

your right leg 
becoming Mexico

border wall
half-buried
a desert eagle

cutting yourself up 
one kilo at a time 
the last person forgets you

with an edge cut
the mirror sneezes

66 late winter sky
   the metal hand railings 
   on this old tram.

as a whistle blows
the last dime
drops

he leans over the train track 
and spits

winds rage
the last passage
opens up

the selling of shade
the lion’s stripes 
becoming your chest

from earthly bowels
a hairspray flatulence

72  your miserable life
    cold in a cold oven
    a cold pie

blackbird cluster
small pecks widen
my soul hole

certain of nothing 
you peel an orange

cloister bells
prison bar shadows
climb the walls

waxing crescent
the broken english 
of rabbits

burnt carrots
drop another bucket

78  your ancestor
    waking 
    amongst pollen

undercover of darkness 
iguanas 
rock the boat

coffee 
like something

all ajitter 
my face
falls down
