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
