S.B.T. 374

The Odyssey of Mother Mud

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
