wheres Weisnitz?

his was the trim precision

his the Italian plate of garlic gnocchi

name him Westnitz, a tyrant

over the mountains. Westman.

they can’t hear. your symbol,

your surname, west after crossing Rockford’s waters.

bare your teeth like an Illinois ghetto-dog.

big as continents

hugeness, the huge span of thought,
as going out in every direction,
popping corks in Greenland
when they want a celebration,
except no one knows, they
heard later, was premature.
but what does critical thought
help, just ‘cause you’re a Confucian,
tipped off doesn’t make
it valuable—why words anymore?

stop thinking.

charm/chant against the rapture

1

where in eyes in fence
in clouds after infestation
where apocryphal where limits
where assertive tides where
speak buttress where over
crowds not knowing where
the words but believing where
because they fear death where
a little torn a little apocrypha

2

go drop go drop go drop go drop
go drop go drop go drop go

Sons of Man this is vanity
this is ghost of Pagan this
drop go drop go though this
is heretical

this chain loud rasp
of voices drops out of the attic
go to floor to power,
estivate wreckage
go drop buildings it was

fated to drown out
single souls with fertility
of restless death over and
drop go drop on the summit
the height there, there.

all they ever ask you
in a flood is
“can you see your feet?”
