John M. Bennett

your flaking labor ,dandruff on your
shoes .a wire a form a wandered
in my loot your lesser fang a
stalactite crashing in a cave

boot sunk your fishy gape plopped
before the “throne gas” it’s un
needled or my slammer fonder than your
gear your loot your “wishing” for a lake
.the eddy dries and my collapse growls in
the index where your string curdles like
the news a grown rash wheedled in my
yammered pond gun .age and “special
socks” ,fog and lint buns my thumbing break

Right

nuts tune lamp clod )you mumble(
drooling in my lap a phone sinks
outside a sidewalk thick with cats

a knife you clattered on the phone

 

 

 

 

Gut

ice and grease and cups and gnats and
plenty bullets in your pocket like a
bladder nod my elbow drunk or is
your bucket stalled with puke ?dunk
shoulder wheel you spraddled chunks ‘a
naps left below my collar like my

the pants and sweaty pullets dying in
a heap .it’s time you cuddled turd it’s
time I “smelt the sidewalk”

the dark

spent table burnt and numbered

saved for years
