Arming Astana

eleven plus two is twelve plus one
Hannah K.’s funeral was real fun
the eyes they see
a bored, robed
angel glean
rome wasn’t built in a day, but Italians may wonder.
listen… silent
conversation - voices rant on
eared bats eat bread
on no septal plates
a six inch chin axis
again pairs St. Paris against
less savage Las Vegases
nine thumps punishment
desperation? a rope ends it
in a dusty study I…I
Yasmin Le Bon is mainly bones now
her married admirer
the moon-starer astronomer
persistent prettiness
below the elbow
she cindered 'n' de-cried
enraged, angered
kissing couples and licking spouses
like October sky rocket boys
creative states, reactive tastes
oceanic cocaine
in sever’d red veins
rain washes whetstone handshakes
like Elvis lives

An enjoyable play of words.
An enjoyable play of words. Very 'Oulipo'. Good stuff.

I like the dreamlike themes
I like the dreamlike themes woven into description of relatives with bat ears, huge chins and whetstone hand shakes. Rome wasn't built in a day, but this seems pre-Roman? 'Yasmin Le Bon is mainly bones now' but she's still so beautiful isn't she.
