Sean Bolton


The Alien

Research has pierced all extremes of my sex
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp  —David Bowie

In-sonic symphonic
auricle and prosthetic
harmony and bane
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp  beat-down
derelicted gods perversion
plowed for trance

Mark to deploy gilt
rebels on grids of chain
raped to rhapsody
in turn ruptured
to respire grit-beleaguered
insulate insolent in silence laid

Idiot age boring rage
flexing at mirrors decayed
this desert bleeds money
disaffected auto-deflected
lifetimes in analytics
a-waste endeavoring

drink to apprehend
to love is not to drown



With Name

Burn down I from entropy, gut
and ghost. Tribute the intruder –
trash witness what name without
mind. Instead extend beyond
fragment: a blade’s edge

cannot be cut. Time moves
through name like a thrust of
breath into blood. Insist
to incise, fine defense for
shedding dust life fucked

for reason’s sake. Past
all of pretty rhyme a rose is not
name nor this parade of signs
in incremental waste. One word
to purge image in annihilation.
