where he lives in obscurity with his wife and dog, occassionally smashing chairs in his unfinished basement

the crushing anomaly of decay
normalization

lives in the sticks of his mind and heart and continues to immolate, another

essential behavior:

to keep one's own counsel
to dismiss all

chasing unto deathcamps,

and me a lone fry

how did it go

 

it fell off precipitously

red dreams in a black

 

land,

 

gray dreams

 

in a green
