” Back in Effect “

Back in effect
putting theories to the test
not at all that far fetched
nor deeply skeptical

while looking at the credentials
of a feminist Empress
lulling punishing elements
by the cold light of intellect
and the intensity of objects

being given
a tragic sense
of decrepitness
low commitment
high energy

vicious derogatory missiveness
chaotic internships
miraculous quick switches

whinnying grunting
puffing up shared pulses
bounty served up

stopping suddenly
put into trucks
steamy summers

draining of blood
languages disrupted
like cruel tusks

as “lord of thy utterance”
while bringing suffering
coiling around wings
leaping gasping

residual maleness
mastering spells
with single sentences

melanoma spreading
barbaric ugliness
fictive energy

refined and feminine
intolerable pressures
open-air spectacles

sexual regeneracy
stubbornly dense
wielding spears
and helmets
unconvincing
decadence...
