Venus     1

  SOLE artifice urgency dream
on vari-colored blossoms, a loop spying
for pleasure features a dominant narration by the spurned lead:
                                  frills are bank steno folly crabs;
because a tonk broad –
                                  I’d never heard the expression before –
antique gash makeup
to nourish Narcissus flute in flower
where cat makeup won’t work, terminal jealous proofs,
                                  antique tabasco on the cleavage –
your eyes look like snake bites facing error;
    but fluid stem chaste tips
                                  amends fruited fallacy humping observers
foam blonde spades and diamonds too much rabbit rousers, paws
                                  to enforce missive ikon, starry-eyed
                                  spoonlike ikon guesswork
gonadvertising like the adding together of zeros;
    and whose cum thirst? –
                                  vocable adjective amply bachelors
kneecap audition gets intimate under interrogation, addenda
whispers blindly: the forgeries are self-ruining, never mind,
                                  surfaces
                                  press the emphasis talcum Tories –
                                  clause of penis nulls envision
                                                                withers in postal –
how deceptively out of date one mouth can be! –
white powder White Paper chests wolf hectic curl
highlights bush problems découpage or décolletage
                                  taxonomy valueness.
    I dream to slump little pointy verticals
unfathomed width tuxedos cock rests on form
                                  lint limbs boning smile for a headrest
breath brands the ooze, Supphose for wristlet
wide-eyed voice split ribbing up above
penitent jewels hang low –
modesty forbids consciousness.
    And pap size voice
                                                                voice visual victory
painterly near like a luau pit metrically leering
                                                                circle encloses zero
chili-tipped heartshrunk casual excavatory blahs,
                                  kindless knots louver aura
tenancy soothing reddish anemia sterility lessons,
sisterer labyrinth creature deviant mode
                                  melody in cavity comes & goes,
    grief with hair
chain-purse compares itself to
default translucently denied, florid vista intern
event dividing cream prisonered puree antianimate
                                  monochrome bleu closed for novel hard yellow
static lop.
    Imperious hymen mute
                                  inert intent femme to slush hound
                                  posturing beefcake vinylize on cue –
                                                                ahngkrahssay –
                                  toxic missus visible or not
                                                                witless wetless
                                  jack on foam, blank spots me a blank
                                  lips swivel on the neck
    to spy on what rejects you
I’d get nauseous if I look at my hand, false makes huge of hope
                                  magenta somnambulist quiver
                                                                bonbon stifles
                                  inner spazz – see it!
                                  falsifying triangle of entail
despise the ellipse, I’ve ordered my rubberized underpants;
    and backseat minuet flying-chocolate
jelly on force these tacky little devices to
keep us from just talking, insinuate silence
                                                                tremblers in bereft
sung shut desire.
