Cigar Cutter
He fights the
fleeting under
-analysed urge
to feed his
flaccid cock into
the cigar cutter
threading stretching
malleable pink
numbing
pang as
little veins spill
like beansprouts
from a half-eaten
egg roll.
Oresteia
(after Bataille)
A gagging last
supper of blush
pink vomit
and seed
a strained kiss as
the blood
supper of blush
pink vomit
and seed
a strained kiss as
the blood
begins to drain
and the member
deflates
and the member
deflates
Oresteia’s severed
sobbing cock
throated
sobbing cock
throated
from either end
by Clytemnestra
and the tongueless
by Clytemnestra
and the tongueless
unstitched maw
of
Agamemnon’s corpse
of
Agamemnon’s corpse
impotent in his revenge
Oresteia kisses his
mother goodnight
Oresteia kisses his
mother goodnight
his cock still lodged
deep in her throat
ad speculum
he tongues his father
and sits back to
leak black life
ad speculum
he tongues his father
and sits back to
leak black life
out
his cloying
numb hole
moulding his masque-
mortuaire clawing
hallucinating
his cloying
numb hole
moulding his masque-
mortuaire clawing
hallucinating
a life
of
Arcadian laughter
rattling discordances
of
Arcadian laughter
rattling discordances
a bag pipe of death
sounding gaseous
surrender
sounding gaseous
surrender
and as Oresteia’s work-
worn soul shuffles
away head
bowed
in shame
Clytemnestra
regurgitates
worn soul shuffles
away head
bowed
in shame
Clytemnestra
regurgitates
the slimy morsel
and priggishly chews
before taking it back
in one
triumphant gulp.

Reamus Remedium
Or How Sick Poets
Console Themselves (after Nietzsche)
Glory to a
prolapsed anus
a different kind of
honesty
perspectival in
its hanging
reluctance
to platitudes
and growing
with each
unclean fist
Glory to a prostitute
a different kind of
adonis
grappling dismaying
over-
coming with
vitality
to the
endstrom
wrought and
fecund with decay
Glory to a
politician flayed
and salted a
different
kind
of austerity
Glory to a depraved moralist
a different kind of
justice convinced
of the higher
legitimation in a
truthfully selfish
sainthood
Glory to a leper apocather
a different kind
of apotheosis
Glory to a mythopoet so sick
with syphilis autochthon
to
sisyphus a different kind
of genus
stuck
Glory to his swollen red prick
carried weeping bursting
around the cobbled back alleys
whispering to it in aphorisms
the throbbing ghost of Turin.

Bio
They call him the Fusiform
Gyrus
Some say he was born of a
virus
But when push came to shove
He rose above
Laying dormant and ever-so guile-less...
