Cleaning the Mirror
by Joel Chace
Chace
(BlazeVOX , 2008)

 

 


start-
ing from one breath and
a sharp loc-
us, unwitting choices
spew chaotic
albeit genuine sp-
ume and in that
bedlam levees over-
flow and lost words plash
onto feral shoals, syn-
tax prematurely ashore
and wound up, tense
as the one that got a-
way

* * *

flinty skin slaps quick fix
on public eye targeting chromatic
plenum: astral scattering
of plumes, crayolas melted
on basalt midnight. exiled
ghost inks reckless glyphs depicting
one penultimate scam or other,
sharpens fetishes in frost-free
outer space. swords deftly sever
links between glittery saint and mock-stone
shrine. likely tickers ponder focal
points of punctured wrecks.
dervishes breach their zeal, twirl
the feverish dust.
