Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist. Jose Ortega y Gasset

At bones we















At bones we



cellphone inside



splinter's selves







waiting for Pluto



to divine



a blushing wig







out of an aperture



of frost



appearing inside a rind







This is when soft snails



can throw a murmur



in pamphlets







when in the digest



a brim sifts its cells



in plasticy shores







and swells a prelude



Gauze stretches from



factories nested







among the pinnacles



An anteater drives up



and admits he loves



















windows drinking black



Plaster towns crumble



in the shoulder of the
dead General
