interregnum

Man should make much of Life, as Nature’s table,
Wherein she writes the Cypher of her glorie.

– Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke, Mustapha: Chorus of Tartars, 1633

upside hills of dreams nudes
draped on the backs of animals
a flailing red angel

green outside cubes and creases
weep down sky
wood knots

stain the house of cognition
what temple is this what
template for strange effects

my uncle murmurs
pinions the sheep against the fence
his arm locks her head

crunch…
then his knife
bleeds her

a silent ewe
a thought
a space between

more thoughts
cleft between vitals
honey poured over fantastical nights
