This work is a collaboration between me and my friend Rainey.
Four flesh queer
quartet for sabbath
Four fleer queue
queen for saturn
Saturn orbits flint
the force of flesh
My flesh for four
the remaining rest
Sabbath rest
Seventh day rest
resting sfords
and swords
Swords slashes slays
fillets the flesh for rest
Forced sabbath
Necessary sabbath
To them I was dead
“I don’t even recognize them “
They said, all gazing
Teary eyed
At the empty shell of past self
Laid out
And painted like a doll
They sobbed and bid their fairwells
To what they thought was me
I was sleeping
Deep down
I was stirring
Like the sprout
That breaks open the seed
Like the sediment
Being crushed into precious stones
Like the first buds of spring
I was waiting
Growing
Changing
I would rise again
New and full of life
to them I was dead
Dead coffin and coiffer
Dead tomb and temple
Dead downing depths
Dead driving desert
Body lying dormant
Body hovering hibernation
Body swimming sleep
Body sleeping sword
Sword digs dunes
revival and resurrection
Sabbath returning
Saturn ascending
Solitarily four
Singulary transformed
Seed Sabbath sprouted
Flesh into fresh flowers
