I started up a poetry blog with the best poets I know. It’s called Austin Poets’ Union and we’d really appreciate it if you could give us a warm welcome by following our page. Thank you all!

Tacky though it may be to share a tweet here, I made a new video. And since I am not doing youtube right now, it’s only on facebook and twitter. Please let me know if you think this shameless promotion is gross.
1.
I empty thick harrows in muddy heaps
Plasticine and shadowed
There is no room for this face anymore.
2.
Pigments of hair
Rile in aisles
The thickness of manes
Carry worth
3.
What r u
Some sort of
Blank vector
Through which
All anxieties plunder?
4.
I am aether transpondent
5.
A yawn rises
It’s only 3am
You’re not allowed to sleep anymore
Not since the war
6.
There is no righteousness in your mercy
But you’re sanctimonious all the same.
Each night when I go to sleep I become a termite. I am an ugly, shiny, pale thing in a colony full of other ugly, shiny, pale things.
I do the work of other termites. I am not very high up in the chain of command. I bite and I bite and I bite at the hard wood. It feels like I will lose my teeth. The other termites bark orders. I work harder. I want to quit but I will starve if I do.
When I wake up I have splinters in my teeth and stuck in my gums. My furniture is fucked. I’ve gone through eight tables this year. The people at the furniture store know me. I’m afraid they have figured it out.
Hunker down now
With the molecules
Don’t let them know the face you’re making
It’s getting too dark to taste the water
So find a new naked self
You’re not going to find a better guitar in this lifetime
So play like the sound is real
Envelope envelope
Walking till the hairs grow thin.
I started up a bandcamp profile for spoken word poetry. Please show some love.
