words without meaning are sounds

the base of the world:a desacralized
tongue.grammar without meaning.hearts
pledged to violence.liquid youth:
your hand in mine is a performative gesture,
a suspended monorail.

words in the air are dangerous:
sharia law in wuppertal,marxists
in your closet:stripes on plywood 
like fabric,textiles that are too textual.
blood is thicker than your watercolors.
words without meaning are sounds.

haiku

the balloon in my lung,the bullet
pops.pink mist.


.....


my seaweed is radioactive.my oils
are exhibited at moma.my true
love went riding with the foxes.when
ever the sun slants on the sidewalk i
stop.
