rabbit 3

went down the hole
through the loam damp worm space
velvet underground
down
down
world with no end
Jesus
falling in me falling on me
falling and falling
relentless falling
a bead eye into the dirt lash
into the nostril loam
over the fur and down down
deep into the animal
dark leviathan
dark swallowed
past the lips

Bridge and Tunnel

give us your Bushwick,
your Brighton,
your Bensonhurst,
your Bedford- Stuyvesant
yearning to breathe free

Magician's wife

cut in half for the public
impaled upon a sharpened scream

burned alive and mutated
for the man

sponge balls and rubber doves
prat falls and circus ducks

That the coin collapsed in the bottle that
the man pounded into his own hand to release

I used to be
and then I was not.

Homolinguistics for Sivan

forgive me
we were delirious
that plum in your box
in my box
so sweet and folded
that I have eaten
eden and you.
