Putting Off Death

LANGUAGE IS

Language is only the sound of what is no more

Language is only the shallow breath that will not die
Language is only the fog of breath on a mirror when there is no…

Don't
Don't wait up
Don't waste your time

Language is only the trace of what has been told

Language is only the final breath that will not die when there is no sleep

Don't
Don't wait up
Don't waste your time
IMMANENCE
We progress
Putting off death
The sky is torn wide open
As a mouth throws up on a mirror
A mouth full of dust
As the dead ends
The false starts
Beyond the sea
There is a sea
Which is woman
A catalog of sounds
A prosthetic leg
One thing leads to the next
As difference is internalized
Our features become a magazine
A frontier from either side
Measure and repetition
Rust and erosion
Fabricate an opening
Between nothing and a line
The outside is still
Like a pose
Like an advertisement
HYMN
Hemingway never wrote about
shooting metaphors into his mouth
floating in between
psychorealities
never nothing to make a change for
nothing to stay the same for
Time is now moving differently
but it’s getting away with a dream
what euphoria
bliss oblivion
never nothing to make a change for
nothing to be in pain for
Like the weightless economy
distance not the same proximity
what naivete
airborne allergy
always something to be in pain for
not the wind, it’s the train horn
