Blistering Enlightenment


the crushing obligation of behemoths deep

in the woods drives angels into frijoles hysteria

harpoons on the back of flight pray

on those running in guacamole desperation

a river hooked on bounty is blocked

by a giant body sock turned nacho slick

rain clouds take an exposed crease

into all ghostly gulps of God’s smoke

interpretation pledges to condition

all allergic breathless cubic taco divinity

a neck of missing skin slithers tabletop

to exotic belly bounce siege mentality

I distance myself from a pumping manifesto

purity has cornered the market on disgrace

sweetness is a form of running low on forgiveness

the sun blazes above all transitory albondigas aspirations

a baby bird flutters toward a transmutation

I take a solitary tangled enchilada jump

my fingers declare a greasy doorway to be paradise

childhood chairs circle the angry remains of migration

sand funnels into an ancient bulging sorrow

I huddle inside the expanding dense sounds of quivering

fruitless equations as my summer flesh blisters enlightenment
