@wodz.bsky.social
Writing almost every day (probably too much grimdark), occasionally published on dead trees and electric screens. Mostly poetry, usually short. Always rhotic
I welcome questions
Or better yet, answers
Pinned
behind a certain screen
the real world
lies

the poet
has to make you see
between

the sirens and the sky

= poor consolation =

these apartments are cheap
but in debasement the landlord
feeds monsters
on half truths
and plastic virtues

= after autumn =

so who will remember
but the flowers i watered
the birds that i fed
the black dog that followed
to the garden shed
though never a sigh
for the words that i wrote
in blood
on autumn leaves

= invasion of the body snatchers =

the SUVs arrived in 1994
from god or ford knows where
now they point and scream
with loud magenta tongues
if you should crawl the streets
in less than several tons

= blunt auguries of thongs to come =

someone is stealing
unstained steel from ocean graves
untainted by atomic sin

while cybertrucks
with full immoral plating
glow in the dark

like fallen angels

lead characters zoom in and out

annoyance peaks
attempting poetry instead

patch me if you can

"Wuppertal".

One of a series of poems responding to the work of Emmy Klinker (1891-1969), a German artist born in what's now Belgium, dubbed a degenerate artist by the Nazis.

nothing is burning on the sun
nothing lies in between
the atoms of your brain
nothing is growing in the space
between our distant standard candles
but ignorance and fairy tales
and endless time
