It's the Astral Tubing

There’s the shadow of an old

building on the wall of the building left

standing next to the lot where

garbage grows as if fed on cold.


Blink & ship contain the westward hinge

like magnets in soft padding. Soft ply granulates

the new fissures. Where just a block away


the river, regulated & stump

gnarling like the chewed elbow

can you feel this, it’s disgusting


like cavities of squeezing

and generous lumps bombing


the old torso with cream curds

and evacuations. Don’t pretend,


it suits the river more,

the snivel wall from streets of flood


and brick shaped house holes.

see there. Think how way down

the sluice of river churns the mud open

like the hollow body removed of organs


still pulses because of shape. Form

not longing or need, the wrinkled lip,

combs the even landscape. Halo a jug of missing

out of the lump left in the river.
