RON ANDROLA Self Portrait As Katsu
In the world before worms & stars. In the world before compassion & viruses. In the world before repercussions & dust. In the world before sledgehammers & my soul.
Lambs, embedded carbon replicas, Burn aluminum from radio & satellite. Lambs leak like ghosts in microbial rock Face. Lambs are lanterns & cantaloupes.
*
Shouting on Mars my gray volt Sleep dome cracks. Sands of iron Wind collect into a segmented Orange eclipse. My intensifying
Fury reverses mirrors on Earth. Crushing a radio satellite for aluminum, Fossilized bacteria radiate inside My roaring mission: to twist yr head
With echoes of a sledgehammer scream. *
Funny the electrons squeeze wings, Lambs, roots in the rock. Extract entire Segments of life, introduce methane &
Iron ore. Volts of radio bearings oiled By gray wool & grains of viruses, Rice-like, electrify orange dopamine
Injections. Laughing above Earth’s Yolk & shell, I ride a bucking Satellite of human wreckage,
Pierce foil with my microscopic heels. Count breath, a lifetime of words Erupting from a dust skull.
*
Deal me clubs. Opera, lambs Without echo. Aces Ice my hand plunging Into brain meat for Dopamine & aluminum. Morning bells of a Church blocks away Lick thru curtained windows. The game is uniquely personal Under an electron microscope. I will be diamonds in a golden lens.
*
I am trying to rip my nose From my face, thumbs deep Into lamb-like nostrils, Pulling for the love of Buddha.
Enlightenment is reversible Horror. Calcified, in rock, Pierce the remains of biology. Extract nitrogen from aluminum.
My nose is not necessary, nor Snow, television, empathy. When I’m blood I’m language; reversible, Furious silence.
