WTF, Blogger? Am I therefore a pornographer?

"We're writing to tell you about an upcoming change to the Blogger Content 
Policy that may affect your account.

In the coming weeks, we'll no longer allow blogs that contain sexually 
explicit or graphic nude images or video. We'll still allow nudity 
presented in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts, or 
where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking 
action on the content. 

The new policy will go into effect on the 23rd of March 2015. After this 
policy goes into effect, Google will restrict access to any blog identified 
as being in violation of our revised policy. No content will be deleted, 
but only blog authors and those with whom they have expressly shared the 
blog will be able to see the content we've made private. 

Our records indicate that your account may be affected by this policy 
change. Please refrain from creating new content that would violate this 
policy. Also, we ask that you make any necessary changes to your existing 
blog to comply as soon as possible, so that you won't experience any 
interruptions in service. You may also choose to create an archive of your 
content via Google Takeout."

one by one, your lights...


oh there is such a thing to be said now but who can say it?

.
can't be any condition
so dire
that 100 straight hours
of binge-viewing
can't fix it

.
scatter of dead crows
on the snowy field—
eyes in the hedges

.
clamouring quiet
the vast black hole
of 3 am

.

One is getting spiritualized...

Goodbye Joe, CLICK me got to go me oh my oh...

limerick

a celebrity chef from Bombay
wished his rivals would all go away
he cried I'll fry the lot
stuff them all in a pot
where the bastards can bloody flambé!

Yorvik's the site of coprolites
with petrified gut parasites
black and tan and rich in bran
are these historic Viking shites

winding sheets to the wind (a riff of demusing)

one awakes to the awful reality that the dream was not a dream, 
that there is no way out—Madeleine Shine, The Dreamers' Cookbook
denial ain't just a river in Africa—Mark Twain
By the mark twain...—Trad: Mississippi piloting call

in the dream the chemical turns his face yellow removes his hair and teeth it gives him the ability to fly, though weakly—even in the dream he remembers that he cannot fly when waking—
the creature clings close about me like some irritating over-affectionate pet wanting always to 

embrace
watching always for a chance
to bite

old friends are everywhere all of them grown malevolent, suspect—our hair is long, dark red, matted we do not know our reflections over it all a sense of dulled panic the dream figure represents sickness he wakes with its sweet slick like poison all down his throat his face stuck to the sheet with some syrup leached from his pores as though the night the bed were a poultice to draw out

evil spirits and allow passage
but something is unfinished

and this dream, like the other where he recalls the murders the concealment of corpses will come again, again by the mark twain, the mark pain, the creak down the lane behind the wall the call
behind behind the counterpane we remember this from when we were ill as children.stop

ill as children.stop

lost child

in what creeps and rills
unknown at dawn

in what shrills at night
what calls what hoots of dream

in what marsh lanterns
what ghost fires arousal

only rainbows in the spray
drifting outward, growing less

in other, crueller language
nearing nothing
your lights sinking

one by one
your lights

.

koyaanisqatsi

no excuses or tears
death comes too soon
whatever needs to happen
is already trying to happen
move out of the way
for you are blocking
your own sunlight

.

being the bad man

you are discovered in the searchlights
crouched leering over a body
revealed suddenly for what you are

no one will harbour you now
there will be no peace, no rest
no shelter for you now

that you are seen
that you are known

run, accursed one
to the badlands the darkness
thou who hast defiled our hearts

embrace filth itself
and die alone

.
why are we not also all
Moaz al-Kasasbeh?

try to breathe

only the move ahead
no up nor down

crying of the wind
loss of all future

all that is gone
shades in an empty house
a door banging somewhere
through the mist

sadness of oceans at dusk
offering up forms
that will wake no more

to their bright swell

all you ever have
this one move ahead
let it be enough
to rouse your spirit
again to its dance

look, a creature came to our fire
as we slept
for here
are its tracks in the snow

but we slept
and it would not linger
in our broken house

not with us ghosts
who cannot find in the looking
up and down any future

for now the snow covers all tracks
in its deep quiet

look no further

this is your moment
little shaky bird
all your life watches

.

singing in the well

even if anyway
and how they must have laughed
in their souls or reasons or cans otherwise
think of them there
challenging und awkward yes
lefthanded and frisky as awks
in the drowned kingdoms of the Sea
shoving yes shoving the shale
white and black

with a frequency as voice
that hollers yes hollers up
of the hollers

say that differently
flash, creep, stark at night
resound etc
but this is not night

and huge now the plash
and all of time the difference
look at this, though,
the differential in the coo the evil coo
on the rooftop
and why there is no space
Freude freude

[full stop/Falstaff]

Faust be thy name
I intend and do not intend
any ode to joy
only sheer unutterable starkness

naked as wailing
die now, just die

(for all Time has come
about)

dead wells in the gourd
and laughs lifted bumpy as
outer swell — clocks adrift
everywhere we look & do not

shush

I can't ever say
what I mean
how can this be?

.
you are not
half as bad as you think
pink start to the day

.
the sudden shock
at dawn, of a gun
in your neighbour's house

.
remnants of snow
everywhere—
palimpsests

.
how would you
approximate the dawn sound
pigeonhead?

.

get this
that tomorrow didn't start
until later

.
pale
early morning
drums all quiet now

.
