Status Updates From Meat Heart

from Waterfall

“The most romantic thing a human being can say / to another human being is Let me help you vomit.”

“—Please describe / your vomiting; it is like a psalm to me / a place where wilderness might be new. / Other people’s dirt makes a lovely frock. / Grant I be forgiven in the gush.”

updating on the wild poems in here, starting with “binge eating in 2067”

“Nothing is enough
he chains me to the rocks

then slaps my growling stomach
until I spew static

making space for ash fish
and elemental octupi”

ending with

“and put my fingers in his mouth”
