The Poetry of
Michael G. Khmelnitsky

piss stains on tan pants
are unavoidable

the sign is given
the annunciator plays
the first four notes of
das horst wessel lied

moving over low shaggy clouds
i heave and flow tragic indecision
i am a dragon/i am a kite
arrowhead made by obsidian


pastiche = paste shit
social psychology explains the holocaust
a fifth column for mubarak holdovers
wieczny skup palet

nosebleed at 30,000 ft.
watercolour on silk
a pattern of endless leaves
(oh. you're almost wearing me


my cock hardens
i think: jacob's ladder
lizards of the levant
photocopier codes

in march i tin apricots
& jeans (change comes from the chain
i watch the translated vase
all beauty and blue glaze

handles and spouts
littéralement the tip of rain
