Status Updates From The Collected Works of Bill...

“One morning woke up
Charlie was cooking
and we ate not talking
but sniffing wind
wind so fine
it was like drinking ether

we sat hands round knees
heads leaned back taking lover wind
in us sniffing and sniffing
getting high on the way
it crashed into our nostrils”

“One of the cages had a huge owl. It was vast. All I could see were its eyes — at least 8” apart. The next morning however, it turned out to be two owls, both blind in one eye.”

Such silly, interesting little details

“Tilts back to fall black hair swivelling off her shattering the pillow
Billy she says
the tall gawky body spitting electric
off the sheets…
this is the first time
bite into her side leave
a string of teeth marks
she hooks in two and covers me
my hand locked
her body nearly breaking off my fingers
pivoting like machines in final speed

later my hands cracked in love juice…”
