MY SOUL IS A BROKEN DOWN VALISE
THE POETRY, ARTWORK & PHOTOGRAPHY OF ROB PLATH
Saturday, March 8, 2008
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.

white striped
sifting for stanzas
you can't hang a horizontal man
blood from tear ducts
you don't need a .38 when you're turning 38
the anatomy of a poet
six cigarettes
jumper cables on the heart
thank god he broke the fucking mold when he made us
