bunny rabbit guts
show silvery in moonlight
filling shallow pit

Poem 124: To one whom I may have frightened: DRAFT
How about this:
If I was staring at you
like a hungery bird
I am sorry
I didn't know what I was doing
and could not help it
you are such an exquisite
freak monster of nature
?
If I was staring at you
like a hung
I am sorry
I didn't know what I was doing
and could not help it
you are such an exquisite
?

Poem 123: Ogre
to the ogre
broken hearts
taste like froot loops
dreams are like
cotton candy
which he quite likes
vermin, which make him shiver,
look like
poets : "where do they even
come from?"
he says to his wife
who is made out of broomsticks
and balloons
she commits suicide daily
and daily is brought back to life
to care for their fucktuplets
but the main thing he does
is run his mouth:
guglelly
gah gah gah
harh harh blegg gah
gubelly

Poem 122: Andronikos
somewhere in the Cardinal's letters
is the description of me
which overtook me on the way to Paris, a directive
most dire, a warning to all that I was not to be
welcomed, sheltered, employed in any degree
for I was a monster of nature, with many an adjective
somewhere in his letters is that description of me
i don't blame him. it was 1453
i was a mess. my Latin unreflective
most dire, a sign to all i was a refugee
a condition with which I did not agree
my behavior in Rome was hyper-expletive
cf., somewhere in his letters, the Cardinal's description of me
i went then to northern Italy
fated to write my Brescian Invective
most dire, an insult to all in that city
when They let me out of jail finally
i was hitting my stride, most effective
somewhere in the cardinals letters that description of
me most dire,
to paris and beyond preceding me
is the description of me

Poem 121: The last square dance
Swing your partner ‘round and ‘round,
And turn your corner upside down.
And turn your corner like swingin’ on a gate,
And meet your partner for a grand chain eight,
And hurry up boys and don’t be --
aw fuck it.

Poem 120: grail
the faceless fish arose before me in dream
his featureless brow
in full mucous coat
that was almost death to behold
what is the secret of the grail? he said.
whom does it serve?
and i was afraid
i've failed you, My King
his featureless brow
in full mucous coat
that was almost death to behold
what is the secret of the grail? he said.
whom does it serve?
and i was afraid
i've failed you, My King

Poem 119: Mummy
now more than ever seems it rich
to be an everlasting mummy
in a gorgeous manner
to rule over my cats
in the dark
bathed in the deep, blind un-gleaming gold
that sleeps with me
that sleeps with me
to ride my boat of sleep
in the moonlit nightmares
of alcoholic bitches everywhere
and to keep my guts in separate jars
but it is not yet time
