 The Pressure of Love

 

Electrode laden, head bound
with elas­tic and née­dles    of gel; a moment
of secu­rity and peace— machines
run­ning warm, energy’s lulling
sound, flu­o­res­cent
light and flu­o­res­cent walls: a lover
in a lab coat clears
her throat
and fid­gets with cords.
A lover’s soles
scoff
against linoleum, the laden brain
excites the coated lover
whose fore­play
is an intri­cate set­ting
up of con­nec­tions, plug­ging
the brain up
to machines
after rub­bing skins: some call the act
of abra­sion the begin­ning
of a sacred conception.

                                     Both the heat­ing
and the cool­ing
of body and brain, lover and machine
fall into a space
between
plea­sure
and pain. The child
of con­nec­tiv­ity appears      on a plot
of wave
forms that turn
the lover into a par­ent
of inter­pre­ta­tion
   long after
the brain detaches     from the clamps
of its lover.…

Forty Illusions Before Midnight

 

Birds never fly away
    Fish never swim away
        The sun never sets
 
We are idiots of ego

The only rev­o­lu­tions
That mat­ter are the vio­lent ones
The ones that force us to cast off

Me mine me mine

The only rev­o­lu­tions that mat­ter
    Are those that reveal
        All is relative

All is con­tin­gent and evanes­cent
Like the leaf that falls because

    She says so
