cry gums – Sean G. Meggeson

January 4, 2026

&bow-
legged angels
sing dyspareunia Duino song

mercy mercy so

cry like elegy fuck like funeral

then no really shut up

w/ your pageboy silence
your eyes your new haircut
your glossy clippings your
holocaustal rage your societal eyebrows
your uncle your dentist that uncle jack intestinal

&your shit diamonds glass crystal lineated like
doggerel rhythms knee-
slapped w/ daily bread literally
shot from your pie-hole pocked
corroded w/ fortune in fees

 
enemy intercourse

 
bones broken starting starting

nothing sacred nothing ardent

not even pain peanuts

tell a better story mating

squirrels don’t plan think dream winter

now guess bupivacaine notes

remember summer days dream

&drain into morning limbs ratty

injection sites cut from

language codes &cold-packed like the insane

left to soft-shoe away 20th Century boo-hoos

or something alcoholic properly Byzantine that is

benzodiazepine luxurious joints shared after

separation &dissociation

command smiles teeth technically

not bone not anything to hold

like love words hot of mouth scoured

humanoid zones everybody talking

like countries protesting nothing

at the UN useless technically combat favours

Odessa promises like a lover eats shame

out of the hands of tomorrow

 
like penny whistle

 
&cocks gather feed first peckpeckpeck

w/ barnyard echobunnydawn boinks &thesternmen

teach mechanics basic sex anything but

gentle guidance premature

ideology of touch

so Derrida could turn

it into mourning Ricoeur into carnal

hermeneutics okayokay give us French tongue crazy

dance &collapse beneath so many eyelids

Ô les petite cendres w/ sleepybandmarch into Nanterre
