The Odyssey of Mother Mud
viewfinders fixed on the hill predict thunder
in gress in hale and exhale
scout and scale invisible fences
marking space between bluebeards,
and
diminisht morning fog largesse
dawning rumblegong celestes
spam the eternal bandwidth
the music stalks the sleep of soldiers
camped with pyres aflame
aromatic clairvoyage
dispersed by the spy-eyed commandant
thermographic drilling
burns thru the maintop crust
fingering oily veins and
operant interagencies.
creaturedom
with chiller quickness
fly over fluted hills
feathers webs and feet fluoresced
a rainbow in the past tenseless,
a birdsong premiere
the bass notes quiver
instrumentally plucking
a confession of squints
and chuggy sticky cusswords
deities hands entwined,
postmortem r purchased in
postmodern unums
undercut by diplomatique dialogue
forgotten technicum and
valium of remotest sorcery
supreme tally of griffin dodges;
warming up, the gypsy banda
behind unkempt tables of baccarat
the accordion cries
the straightest why
above distant telephonic ringinginginging
cobblestone memorials
within earshot
of the palpable sage: guess what
animal crucibles and all the facts
roughened, and skimpy, decompose
bagworm sacks in the bellydrome
where poised aircraft abide, in lethal waiting.
de-ess the declaration, go ahead
mute the horns of variance
and fortify the rapport of blood
capitulate guncotton and
say good-bye to immortal shadows
and angelical axioms
appraise her farmhouse effluvium
intoxicate her shake and roll
her mudquake foundations,
reallocate her rotation.
with paradox
in a chorus of tearful anthems
for the squatters arcade hears cacophonous
music from the land of bendable agenda
retrace the tiretracks on the vegasdegas blvd
where magnifico blackjacks and bluebirds stroll
even just one green glycemic
wherewithall preconception
shivers me tamarind timbers
—a pan flute vibrates in the backbone
hidden in hyphenated raw space index
bleach the lyric, hang the words out to dry
while back home in the gentle naturale
a windblown dairymaid a dearyard doe
with swallows in her blood
dreams of celeste music in
an epilogue of homages
but watercolors blur in ways
that spill polarized reverse
and then they reembark with clemency,
samurai and
turbans and maharajahs
skiddooing
from futuristic sulphides
digging shelter deep enough
2 bug out anonymously
firedampend works misjudged
comboscillating "oh purple mountain majesties"
burdend and snuft to gray
over the disrobed hills
they sway with hearsay
entreat with barbs 'n' rucks
making hurried sacrifice
prefrozen ruptuals
distorted w/complimentary casings
huggermugger valhalla gnome
sniffs the orange blossom
while masqued minutiae
with dragonfly forewings
fix me with a brandy alexander
made with cognac and the milky way
the vanished ghost dance and tommyhawks
and fishmeal fifer loofs
after words, we walked the long road
from the village to rhapsodize
on what was stored in the archepelago
beyond the starry horizon,
immortalizing the ancient quarreller allure
aloofly wearing sandals
we discuss the issues unendingly
who envisioned
that one logistical time
the aspirator would be stringently
reinvented for below surface dwellings
tucked behind nagual pine roots
nobody wearing the darned empty nightshirts
at the end, semiaquatic phrases are sung
over drumbeats of truth
through the bandwidth in the dawning
radiant blue
evermore
