Black Magic Spews From the Mouth of the Sunflower When She Moans


Like a million ghosts watching you pee

            the second time we got lost in the woods

                        near Dudleytown. That sunset truly fulvous

            ultra-worthy of the wolfman’s aperitif.

Cucaracha mi amigo. Still later in the taqueria

            when you said you were all right I knew

                        you were a spy. Like you lied to those Swiss

            photojournalists after setting fire to their heliport.

It never ceases to shame me when

            the Girl Scouts come looking for Gonzalo Corduroy

                        I have to tell them he died yesterday.

            Dying every day only to be reborn

in the cock-ringed night. Like that hilarious bar

            in the Police Academy that taught me

                        all about human sexuality from the standpoint

            of law enforcement officials. Like rambunctious

Carey Mahoney who without a thought

            for the poor spelunker who gained his fortune

                        in gigantic insect saddles brought low us all.

            Up on the ridge this morning I flew out

on a pterodactyl named Sir Mordacious

            who reminds you when you’re feeling low

                        when you’re standing & you just can’t go

            in the morning light or the evening time

when the moon is bright or the sun is fine

            just hold a breath deep & take a hand out

                        for to lick this magnificent spikenard from thy palm.

            Like a blue sky facsimile you’re sailing

staring at Freak Booty’s badonkadonk blam.

            Leave it to the Americans have a religion

                        fuses Nature & the Mind green gone purple

            throbbing twilight above the cottage

all the seaside returning removing the orange

            looming fright. I’ve called a meeting of the

                        great white sharks who after much opining

            to the threat we pose their farmlands returned

rolling eyes to the caverns where nightmares

            wait only for you. Like everyone else is going to be

                        happy from here on out. Sorry you didn’t get

            the ticket from the ferryman but the balloon

buddy’s taking off & I’ve got all the best

            Burning Angels aboard. A rope a rope is out

                        while the Mastodon jams much to your arousal.

            Keep it down below Herr Alderman this

chocolate submarine fantasia is about to lose

            its alchemy abandoning us to one another

                        an absurd amount of upright pornography.
