a ‘studio’ poem, where the image is integral to the work
the code snippets below have differently styled text overlaid and positioned in a way that does not match the linear text below
view the original work here
the first three stanzas are from the beginning of towards earth

smoothed

down in the earth bowl the maggot storm the particle stream the chlorophyll compote starlight

across the gauss fields raunchy with dew

a woman drives
her monday tableau
dim targets
on the country road
beside her her
mustard
three quarks in his hand full house proton perfect
hums
wiper blades snug
torchlight congealed on his brow

I tried not to but after eleven words it came out. Time. I worshipped the length of it how it went back all the way back to what had to come next.

bards and bastards call

code brown : code brown

hinted at early in the intense romance, only after decades of struggle, suffering and determination : the burning reality of the numinous

more thing theory
every thing being
other slippery wavy things

with rosettes
spreading protections
for projections

nothing comes next
     except echoing
ululations
which is the

the waste of worry in the the the
oceans
