Exploding Like Vermin
Exist Lunatic (for Antonin Artaud)
magnetic skeletons consent splintered fractures upon consenting spectators
high power death bursting internal schism years of limbs permeate
radio elementary
martyrs bleeding bones order atomic revolutions of sordid blankets
inextricable backlash
breathed nerves human judgment wins enchanted theatres .

Mesmerized Dust Footsteps (for Robert Smith)
souls wasted shade door ache standing melting knees

violent surrender hollow
thrashing melts animal sugar fingers catch eyes twilight
sealed illusion lakes lifeless
caves chill mesmerized dust footsteps
