SAPPHO PROJECT

(IN THE WORKS)
SAPPHO PROJECT: TRAKL


Black swans black swarms
Laughing blood plunges
Sheep/sleep is black
Broken arms/Fluffy

Silver soles
Broken waves
Wild wolves, broken

The dark eagles: sleep and death
Whose voice

Not your dark poisons again,
White sleep!
Flutter like a seal

Red cloud red cloud

1. FROM TWO LETTERS

Sixty years. Of power.

“Gasp for souls not bodi,
Frank/Hamlet-actor without a face,
I see you.”
[Great wall_ under the sun]
“Stamp hole to hole to the last hole.”
Third crowing of the
_cock
_bells
_blood drenched mist
_Necktar

For us the span between Nothing and Little

I AM DEATH COME FROM ASIA

When the light says, I am the gloom
It has spoken the truth.
When the gloom says, I am
The light, it does not lie.

Best of all
is a stillborn father.
I wished my father were a shark
Which had ripped apart forty whalers
(And I had learned to swim in their blood)

vibrating mouth-
gag
vain
luckless angel
mighty wing-beats

the trees belong to the dead
enjoy my privileges
airplane whiskey
Queen of Hearts

Any idiot can die_ drop_couple
Kisses, Nietszche

SAPPHO PROJECT: BEN MORGUE

Flower

Slid into the brain
Drink your fill in that vase,
Rest in peace.

Mouth
Chewed up

Rats
Living off liver and kidney
Drinking the cold blood
And enjoying a fine childhood

Only earth should return to earth

[Sun stormed in her hair
Brownish breast s
Purple garter
Of blood
Around her hips]
the bodies give birth
Brain to balls
Two
One womb
“we are ready when you are sir”
keep sterile tampons in store:
raging rattling her bony sword
Death sneaks off to the cancer ward
lift up this coverlet
once
ecstacy and home
has so much blood
down to earth
earth calls,
salute.
(anointed with urine and feces, too)

chaste,
full of caves
hardly scent
it’s only a sweet leaning toward of the air
against my brain,
almond thirst
in us .
Dark: underneath her garments now it lives:
White animal only: loosed and silent scent

Poppy
It makes you think of blood clots and menstruation
In short: the murky path of mana
