Cut
(1) Pandora
His boat
little blue
pulled six inch of skimming draft
as I lost it
drifted and the arm
as it stunned the brick
crack you little fool
crack you little shit
crack up an alley
long slit cut up the neck
set to a red dry river
called father
holy holy holy
box of anger
floating trap
on a Sunday
(2) Lock eight
up to my neck
in line on line
of holy
how the saint
pray child
to catch the tall place
set against the damp beaded pain
feel it ratchet
kiss the stash
missals are not just a tactical weapon for burning
on the bank
light the long
long darkness
darkness
fall on you
the word suffocates
the fall
the ratchet turned
sucks down
jams you
in its anus
chucking up
the holy
turn it against
spits you
out to the sluice pond
when darkness sets
hard set as the stopped
lock the dead
breath the word
chokes all in the missal
all burning
burning
pyre on the bank
as a light
and she pushed my hand in deep
held it with tongues
(3) Gas works sluice
works rust down
graveline on the cold
and he lurks
pray set the pet face to glass
note the sharp
slicing edge
taste it sweet
very sanctimonious orange in the basket
rot them together
lined on the edge
line of the city chains
the link green fencing hems
the rhythm note it pet
or else or else else-wise
cold we chuck you over
money
give us give us your flesh
note it sweet child
I'm a holy man
I cuts up the gas works
chucks it into skips
redevelops the holy shit
note it or holy else chick
