MALFORMED CONFETTI has found another new home!
"...They weren’t anybody else’s
art project. They were mine.
I poked holes to try to drain them,
but they just bubbled up into more
ghost ignitions. They are mine,
but they don’t come when called.
They come whenever they want to.
When they come I have to balance
rickety dishes of spoiled milk upon
precarious ledges..."
from the poem Parasitic Twin, within my poetry book 'Malformed Confetti'.

While the room is melting And The Shadows come to call - Our interstellar dance steps invent history - Military Inserts insects Into my brain - Crows fly from me - so close to the whisper of an artery - Join us for air so thin you won’t breath - deterioration devours us - Thousands of spiders, centipedes, flies Erupted from my eyelids - they sacrificed themselves for the profit of a few - Crematorium Bursting with the gritty sooty dead - how could I have seen a spider from across the room, in the dark? - Did it go under the bed?

A Few Lines from my MALFORMED CONFETTI
"Once upon a time I wished to be wan
with black tips. Sooty tern in place of heart,
pecking, pecking. The shell cracks; it seeps
bone meal. Furry poltergeists sip from
my marrow like maggots
working a wound, little sinners
to digest the dead flesh until
the fur bristles.
It looked like a suckling pig between the legs
again, but one of my holes was birthing
a whole peccary."
inside the poem Balut, inside my new poetry book, "Malformed Confetti", published by Crisis Chronicles Press, October 2018.
