  SOAKED CERTAINS

     EVERYTHING AN OMEN OF TOUCH







  returning the verbiage to color drips



  the slit that lingers above 



  the fetus 



  to reveal the taste of vibrant





        your kidney       now that the beam has entered 





  recollection is contextual





  beat filled sores and store fronts 



  cached with violent ultraviolet





  posture as hypnagogic electromagnetism



  pure absorption





  mescal in the kiva



  where intuition consumes all motion







  the refusal to know 



	  allows one      in essence



  



    become these variations of the calyx

          where obedience becomes 

                  the first thing noticed upon entering



  













  BLOODVAULT

     EVERYTHING BROKEN IS TRUE





  

  she was first seen trudging through the heaps of snow

  dragging a secreting 

  vibrating 

  human heart behind her



  the heart that was still connected to her body 

  through ventricles coming up from her mouth

  as if she had vomited them from her internal spatialities



  she pulled this weight along the snow

  leaving markings and designs



  she exported gargantuous audibilities

  grunts and sibilances

  relative to the heaving it took to pull this 

  the integrality of her



  moving along the edges of the heaps at first

  then cylindrically 

  as if following some pulse

  toward a liquid center 













  once at the center she would sit down 

  and witness what surrounded her



  amaranthine mandalas 

  developed by her own dragging



  she would reach for the heart

  then realizing its distance from her

  she would lug it toward her

  by pulling at the ventricles that connected her to it



  once in her hands

  she would slowly chew the tip of one of its ventricles

  then swallow 

  while squeezing the heart in her hands

  releasing some of its hemolytic

  onto her white packed lap













  “i’ve known the jungle 

   the pulse adumbrations

   and the seamless acts 

   of one’s own orderly righteous death



   because through 

   nocturnalization

   all at once the objects

   that seethe in 

   to consume me 

   one conjunction at a time”



  she would say
