a dumbing

sky ever expanding

world ever closing in

the meat turns

sirius dies

house lights fade

eyes to dim 

and the apples to rot

generation expiration

no more color world

glow, understandings

because meat putrifies

if it is all 

that it can do

notes: a reference

the universe

is a party girl 

polishing off the roofied rum & coke god gave her 

see eden

see the fence lizard half in joshua's mouth

smiling as he bites down

the blood runs down his cheek

like strawberry glaze

see friendship

see bryanna on the swings forever ago

so long that she might as well 

have never existed

see year zero

see the day 

the demon spoke to me

see rancor

see karen 

and our magic tree stump

see red and blue lights 

cutting images of canyon wall and sage scrub 

from the darkness

see a lack of coherency

see burning white hot pain

see my black-boned angel 

and vernal eyes

see nothing

                      feel nothing

                                            be nothing
