careful cuidado it’s hot
straight ahead
the sun sets
sometimes left
soon right
or on its stomach
full
deep dish space cake
a poached eye on a bed of algae
in the court of an hour
the tower of babes confounded by a quarter turn
merry-go-round sunset the table out back
dinner is served
night is fallen
layer upon layer
bringing with it
two-three lightweights
lambs out
should’ve eaten first
some lampposts stretch
fiddleheads flames on the sides of their faces
obscure the sky
melt liquefy
into a sea of hidden stars
aztec soup
under a veil
whet underwear
subs six, nine, twelve inches
bathe in the urbane
at least you’re young
you’ve still got stars in your eyes
don your most sickening look
you’ve shut future-you up
and his protestations
and his hangovers headaches regrets
bitch, you look fucking fabulous
the world around sinks
while the tower rises
and the bar spins faster
sizzling high stakes spin the bottle
drink up the chalice
throw yourself head first teeth bared both hands in ravaging
mmm mmm mmmtsss mmmtsss
we can watch the stars come out
find out what it’s all about
in night’s pit
far from the aurora
boréales belles gueules
these northern light
tall boys stouts half-pints
golden amber dark
hard stuff shooters
shooting stars all around
streams of dust and gas and life
at the tail end
on the other line
call waiting
in or bit
solar flare
cute bud light
but not like cute cute
like woof cute
like canis major hottie of age of a queer of us
like the great bear

towards a galaxy
far far
a way forward
your place or mine

fried neurons
milks shaked
boys with a yardstick
belts unbuckled
asteroid shower
orion stripped
across the universe jerk chicken
off
to the stars
by the skin of your teeth
on the tip of your tongue
short of breath
feast
on boiling water
pots and pans and cocks and balls
going down
roll up the rim
forward thrust
propulsion ebullition emulsion
plateau
fuse erupt overflow
into black gravity
weightless
loose
lost
in your way
milky
and the cow cries over the spilled moon
too late
mutter
feel the chimichurri in your gullet
a gut feeling racing back
lightyears ahead of you
it’s not a stellar half-hour
wipe the corner of your mouth
with the back of your glitter-stained hand
taste grains of sugar lust
stardust traces of ew
sob to yourself
you n meh togeder
s’ars fowever
stare puke down soft serve
a homebody who didn’t want
to come out last night
your chow
in the white sink creme egg shell
hope you haven’t awakened
the beast whatshisname oreo orion
after a while
winded beaming
choose pride over shame eggs over easy
bite chew dead calm
mix miss kiss
braise and praise
your pollock your monet your space jam your masterpiece
a tableau a blurb salad
a glittering canvas of faint comatossed fallen stars
shredded constellations
found end to end glint by glint in the windshield of an alphabet soup
everyone, without a doubt
we can watch the stars come out
you’ll spend the day bedridden
on water
gulping
agraze ablaze
levitating
evading mirrors windows phones phonating
void
worry not
it’s only saturday
you and the night are still young
a wormhole can’t wolf
a hunger like yours
recover lost treasures
reach for stars for fire once more
fly again
towards other suns
on wings
of chicken or Pegasus
