JONATHAN HAYES
The Deck Doesn’t Look Good When I’m home the pigeons try to fly into my bedroom bringing their omen of death, and when I come home after work I find their feathers on the windowsill. The "end" is a coloring book slowly being filled in by wings flapping outta control. The Impoverished Bottle fingertips inscribe ballads upon the sidewalk gravity as co-artist each breath a soldier attacking memory arresting the empty frame of creation in space Clowning the dope is purple and the syringe is pink my head turns into multi-colored cotton candy when i slam the circus into my jugular Jonathan Hayes is the author of Echoes from the Sarcophagus (3300 Press, 1997), St. Paul Hotel (Ex Nihilo Press, 2000), and self invented (split chapbook with Mark Sonnenfeld, Marymark Press, 2003). Recently published by Big Bridge, Pemmican, and Zaum; he edits the literary/art magazine Over the Transom. |
