Wet Sorcery

is stood
   to say
   shone
   and shine
   when he
   herd head
   of lacquered steak, 
   black lacquered 
      center







Camera #1
           slip on
   Camera #2 slip
                   on







nothing drew
me to your 
house but 
love, but 
now my 
holy have, 
   my Gunmeal







  my halo bone
   eats gold-
   dipped 
   wheat








Don’t we
   want
everything 
   strange
   again? 









I feel 
   void
w/o
this 
    muscle









So I did 
assume
  I heard 
the rasping 
of his face?








All gringos
bring
canes
           Ving
           Rhames








Every trace of 
me is
perfect. I 
        green
slice (pound) 
           cake
