vestibule-vaporeux

the ghosts of the risible staircase float in the drolling haze...
rising above the impudence and converting the scintillations
to daze and obfuscate...

[steaming in obscurum on the Rue du Bac, Paris 75007]

niveau-lueur-nébuleux

a flattened moon hovers over the dry industrial artland...
a maleficent eye unwinking, unthinking, purely jinxing luminance...

upon...
"angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night..." *

[*line from "HOWL" by Allen GINSBERG, 1926-1997]

entours-trône-estompé


a baconesque pop-pope perches on the punk-pink throne...
what fetish entozoon soon emerges to empyrean calculations,
to slither under the silky chasubles of phlegmatic apparitions...

béate-boîte-brumeuse


Safe in its Glazed Chamber-
Untouched by Mourning-
And untouched by the Moon-
Lies the meek relic of the Insurrection-
Pillow of Satin - and Roof of Stone!*

the Shadow darkly unmoved,
hangs upon its golden Spot;
the Blessed Blood steeps 
in slowly relinquished layers...
curing to soft rapturous Rot!


[*a re-versing of the first stanza of "216", with apologies to Emily DICKINSON, 1830-1886]

frigos-flûtes-floues

dark dark flowed the freeze fluid...cold colder coldest no more...
art artful in frost free fridges...conducive conduit art-erial core...
