Ten short poems
Sean Farragher

Blood blossom hard-core
bite skin blue stone cut cliff--
invisible rust

blue arctic eyes
crimson lips wet jaded heat
bless tectonic grind

smoke sinuous air --
raw hypoxia abuse --
swish drug dancer

God’s neural river
pulls hair -- trimmed delta;
Venus comes twice

Ice cream melted chin
fast candy idols swallow
bubble gum scotch

Cold music box warps;
horrified child races clown
skip skip Lucy, bow.

Uranium blind;
mushroom Nagasaki
Drink Cuba libre

Mother had sex words --
called it quick dick box
defined delusion.

Monet breathes lush paint--
serial ponds coalesce;
cerulean heals.

Words slip sienna leaves
damp white acorns light bitter fires
last night for big bang.
