~The Hundred Bites~
~XI~

~a man should stand up~
~& piss outside~
~whenever possible~
~enjoy private moments~
~away from societal restraints~
~claim what is his naturally~
~a root rite of birth~
~do it by himself~
~out of sight of others~
~or in the company of brothers~
~whom share his stand~
~ladies talking in the kitchen~
~steam rising in the cold outside~
~XI.  flesh & blood~

~how this man rapes me~
~she breathes~
~not against my will & yet so~
~he knows what I feel~
~which binds me of need~
~what frail stick am I~
~tied to the earth & rapt of feather~
~wings against his tongue to fly~
~eyes closed in a purple longing~
~that he might bruise my skin somehow~
~whip this flesh as spirit done~
~these blood~
~these lips offering at once~
~& denying commitment~
~spirit blessed & flesh be damned~

Picture
~tympany of  armor~whisper leaves click~
~roots of dawn~dinosaurs & ants~ devour us~
~give birth our children~God-brain consciousness~chaos~ catastrophe~stasis~
~reduced mobility~mordidity~metamorphosis~
~blood on blood definition~
~diseased to survive~destined to breed out~
~Trees~

~like giant frozen ants~
~they people the horizon~
~are they marching or cloud passing~
~illusion or prehistoric gait~
~open to specific remembrance~
~certainty of future scene~
~opportunities in the eye of dawn~

~on the threshold~
~a keen awareness develops~
~provides window~
~a frame of reference~
~these are circles we have been~
~tied wandering to bodies of water~
~feet planted as some tender root~
~proud bent & dependent~
~each separate universe of skin~
~a community of creatures~
~rapt about its god brain~
~chaos~
~random catastrophic event~
~brittle static hair~
~nests~
~a whisper of dinosaur wing~
~primordial umbrella~
