1. Splash
Bombs
to Michel Majerus
Horns of dilemma, the
shadow’s brighter heritage
going beyond the
symptoms
quartered revelator of
the frayed edge
a week of redolent
memory
beset by both the
future
and the past
thralldom mastication
2. to
Ric Carfagna
Vintage ghosts of joy
and sadness
a saccharine statement
the
highest expression of the
autopoetic
force
the
incarnation and
withdrawal
of God
declaration
of hither swarms
accretion
of the
torrential
becoming
instances
emancipated
from all anxieties and
frustrations
in
the anagogic phase
made
dizzy by the hybris
a
regular pulsating
metre
of recurrence
3. October
After
Bruce Davidson’s Clown (1958)
Fading
away
in
a sea of dotted infinity
the
rhythm of life
against
monumentality
caressed
by beautiful capacities and
sublime
understandings
supersolid
forms of
evanescent
knowledge
lost
in a mirage of a beautiful forever
4.
Clandestine
corners
embracing
the entirety of you as
embodied
bliss
still
unpolluted by a vile familiarity
spaces
of otherwise
swallowing
me alive
ewer
of extreme ecstasy
negotiating
with the infinite
by
constructions destroyed or masked
this
paradoxical teardrop of necessity

5. Fathomsun
Words
that open a solar eye in the middle of the night
Andrew
Joron
Disintegrated
icon of beauty
transcendental
and mundane
fathomsun
is struggles of patient nothings
the
loneliness monster with
the
tantalizing sign begs for more
emblem
of in between days
the
endless gaze is the blindfold of certainty
like
the bird of paradise
that
lands only on the hand that does not grasp
