Stones Lodged In Penis Of Dog

Mercy and the name

Still Life Still Life

words and on canvas

Sounds not pronounced

Scar and whispers

objects of everyday memory

Arabeschi doodles Overseas;

See sores in warps

Veli repeated identical

Pain and anger

Deburr curses

As beasts of Revelation

That's not making haste

And screaming silence

tongues of Babel

O Death!

gnashing teeth

and shards of white

madness How granules physical

Leather odorless;

dash into the abyss

Like rain on the pavement

Spot Red

Metal sa blood

And no name to be passed

Nothing words

Silence

The fire in the distance

fading.

____

Mercy and the name

Mercy and the name

liturgical ritual that is repeated

Ceremonies abstract Gothic buildings

aisles of songs without altars

Emptiness and silence

Bave of cold wind

tonsure and bloody

A skeleton dance on the memory of a saint

Hagiography disturbed

Cult of nothing

Rain veiled

and blessing speechless

blasphemy

still rhymed verses

Reliefs

Charon waits for the offering.
