Slobodan Skerovic

Lightning’s bandoleer

1.
Finally, set in brows
bodies wet.
Timid bodies imbibed
similar beings
boorish.

2.
Flows down the burns
glassy thread
that makes mouth
hungry huge
to snap jackals
at lace
spats

3.
Lets warble old padlocks
peacocks evileyed
screams whisperings
iron laurel
in voice knitted


4.
Stand hertfore
coaled blackbird
in footbridge dry
dharma bum

5.
Turpentine in gloss
lightnings’ bandoleer
who asked zapp’d
now dawns ancient envy
hungry she-wolf

6.
Tailings ignorant
scalded grip
there in tumbleheath
stooped carp
short cane

7.
Threatens out of wine
daisy yiddish
coil swells
drinking maté
fingers


8.
Just notor bat
was his puncher
cardboard-axel
pushes dronish
sky prints

9.
Your works will leak
and down the edge armlet
sushi-ball

10.
Chaff unties, deny!
he breaths into ankle
in deep
chaff unties, double valley
she speeds
voice
she breathes, put on fire
he speeds in cracked pit
spell, soft crippled

11.
In the zone, it is
moksha, dharma
it is nerves’ complot
vanished brain

12.
It is sandslide
in hood hairy
slogan of salt
drop thread ringing
is the court of humid
undug
sapphire and dark
fabric

13.
Into sight fog drizzles
up to here it grew
grass green
droop under fig
baptize stool
buy old comets
and believe,
believe

14.
And lo conifers exalt
into heaven’s bush
Shallow rooms!
chard puddles
Say that voice dies.
Oh, flow my tears
so voice will not

15.
Hang cloths from boughs
spool burns
will destroy the strobes
from them drop capers
hang dawn-rugs
thick boughs

16.
Nothing in wind
gray aigrettes
nothing like flower in the wild

17.
Dark asylum
dark drag
death in watershed
dews
mew

18.
Moustache knitted in breed
moustache arched
dresses


19.
Death-zone of the Dayak
and limb
gaffe’s tip
over dung

20.
In steel leg
dog screams
from kibbutz
cramped dribbles
like broken wicker

21.
Not into the fairytale after veil
blue haze
there breasts lure
floral waist
tall rock in pinnacle of
honey

22.
Stele drifted from dunes
stele long
and finally,
yielded
cursed famine

23.
Eyes’ yellow
where cheek threw
drop frays
quick
lie, burn
noisy aura
ado

24.
And here where hymns fell
from cold jaws,
slaves escaped
flies into funnel drift
sticky

25.
Hypnos-dalai
languid screws
stressful blues

26.
Flush pulp
red
Lo, it spins
from sour substance
crawls thick down
cropped thigh

27.
Out of little skull
of vulva
allure creeps
from finger

28.
Into charcoaled side
ray refracts;
drop, in it
amber shines

29.
Quiet, blasts
long pain;
into face
Soft leaf,
scratched
draws

30.
Or into stone
live night
stinging like dreamy
absinth:
marrowy blues
heart’s plate

31.
Swollen pollen
selen Amish
fork aims
at road
but angle sharp
dirty road
drunk starlets
rutting

32.
Where are points marks
magnet’s norms
heavy rhyme
tissues
the graphite’s thread
from meager line

33.
And lastly there
shaken
gloss
leaks from juice
muddled

34.
Tictac drops
scratches blue
lane

35.
Things’ spirits
lift
coating
let them flow sapped
a while
but into hot spine

36.
From lightning germs
fallen:
wake’s cascade
charges
snivels

37.
Dandruff-shamble
pisses
into hand yellowish
roses’
stiff

38.
Dirty stars
milky forays
lily

39.
Into summit picks
jews harp
dharma doses
wooly armful
Sky’s might poisons
pressure of
loins

40.
Nothing is left
in cocks’ tide
torso sages
machine
