Four Poems by John M. Bennett

en sortant

rush ,ton visage une lunch
crapulous soggy ,dreamed f
rottage de mes genoux the
sticky rice the rusty ladder
the coiled lentils on your
bed o weight of rain the
limestone clouds exhale yr
feeble sleep beside the pret
zels you forgot ,si
nking in the scummy tub
where you hocked up that plan
tain like yr fingered
neck


Et ma tête s’éloigne de mon corps
- Vicente Huidobro



                        cor nair

chew the sand s aw d
og led the stip pled s
hed where just the skull
remained  )foundered(  in’s
encaustic shirt the  )sleeve
stuffed with dessication bees
the( sleeve of wind ~ ~ )Tlaloc
b links the rain a tunnel
through yr suits me in
,uh ,time emit emission’s
,rusty ,sunken sedan its
algae eye my hard neck
and gu ttered tr out

crawl ,spill the peas ,the
flicker says


...has rendered ehtooms/as hierro...
- Olchar E. Lindsann



  
charnel

acetaminophin ,gut “check”,yr
:boil condition  .slumping on the
shore was ,omnivaricose or
,shuddering from the foot  .who
replies ,eats me  ?termite thu
ndering beneath the ladders
where yr jockstrap’s stre
tched ,Hun Hunahpu holds the
windy hair yr tonsured
mouth  .Fog and Lunch I
wrassled “you” or,,,  ?the
hungry shirts stippled
spots and charred...


...yellow
tissue paper in the mouth...
tongues sticking out...
- Ivan Argüelles




way enhancement

the ringing foot the
clustered frost the
peldaño pensativo al
caer la loess ,mound
slumps dim across the
field where the
tlacaquetzal eats his
cheese  .in amoxtli
pusulecto an the walking
song yr end inculcates
where the fisted verse
burns your socks .wob
bles on the blood-strung
stairs


...y nadie dijo nada.
- César Vallejo
