the anatomy of a poet

staples guns
or sutures
cannot stop
some people
from bleeding

a constant, internal
hemorrhaging

where even
the brain
& bones
get dyed red

an endless liquid fire
temporarily clotted
by the alphabet
This blog is updated irregularly and has nothing to do with the poet's output. The poet is actually disturbingly prolific. He writes about 5 poems per day. The pages are everywhere, even stacked in the bathtub.
