Butterfly Photo by Jane L. Carman

Note from the author: "While the [below] image...is neither a carrot, nor any recognized breed of butterfly[, i]t is of the Bertoli Roosterus Butterfly and was taken in my back yard on a 105 degree day in July of 2010. I believe the creature to be either rabid or drunk."

"Voiceless"

I didn't have the courage to go through her stuff. It was easier to let her presence linger.

I paid her phone bill just to hear her on the voicemail. Friends drunk dialed their girlfriends. I would call her, hoping she'd answer.

She never did, but I never stopped trying.

CHAIN SONG

Sir, aboard delay rude
ill your day fuels
sigh a fat guess detergent feuds
quills sump timber

Sir, aboard delay rude
illicit jewels
see fatuous dates in jeeps
kill sooners tremble

belly late families
belly jelly beans

Mama, fill reposed tales with persimmons
yodel precise poor juice pie tins


WE KNOW WE BELONG

PANTS BOUNCE

pants of nose lash
outside match, lance break
beside dope, bleed between because rev
between engine, wet as dope
protest through nose, breast protest
out of breast as robbery rev

under hair, robbery and spring snivel
into hair, hair sag but
plead against robbery and tear
among engine moan over match, drool
under lance, nose switch as
bruise below mask, Pequod of crystal yelp
against Pequod burn amid crystal, pants bounce

"Good Friday (drive-thru)"

How are you Jesus Christ?
The friday saga... was classic!
you're gonna be sitting in the drive-thru at carl's jr
your drive-thru herpes next to my inner thigh,
with really dirty limericks,
a multicolored tribal tattoo,
your lady sized wee wee,
Tiger off with a bunch of fags
jump in their pickups, and drive sixty miles in the rain to pick up a
stranded biker (Budget Schwarzenegger)
The young gropee should be grateful for the attention
... I didn't savor the idea
but
It gives me a good feeling
.... tonights one of those nights

"albatross 4"

god something smells really bothersome on this train
cannot pinpoint it
i think it is a meat of some sort

"albatross 5"

alchemically translate the mundanities of suburban life
where is the locus of beauty though?
the beating hearts of cars

"albatross 6"

my uncle trades fish to the milkman for free milk
my mom walks into the room singing a song by train
i am going to wear a wolf shirt out in public today
