Mirror-texts
after “Spiegel-Texte” by Friederike Mayröcker trans. Noah Loveless







Sleep-mirror



at nightmall juicy iris
a flame’s blue pith


tangled record


airborne
plump fugue


a saw dust, yester wing







Electricity-mirror



In the clatter pitch a conduit.

Steam at its radially burnt register.

I’m in the process of revisiting that

gust of wandering noise.







Koala-mirror



The entire forest a chain linked by piggy-backs

once one hugged my pencils

once I chirped like a tree squatter

once I glared my carpet teeth

once I spit the forest in a cup

yeah I called it milk







Dinner-mirror



The egg complains dearly.

Scorched shallots holler.

OK, run the skyway.

Let’s meet back here this time.

At this time.







Stability-mirror



Call on the horizon, plans


alternatingly
vita nova


oblongerelong







Pixel-mirror



The element here is picture. Lapsing datasea
swollen by the grid and its gesture,
the tone of the right degree and the color’s habit
caught onto a previous frame.







Death-mirror



A gap is a mouth. The senses number to five and then distribute evenly among
mediums. I saw my particles bulging in the shadow glint I knew I could rip my very own
hair out. A gap is a mouth it consumes and then signals toward parting. At the apex I
was a contortionist salivating off an aerial vine. I was in the presence of two Mes.
Particularly ungrammarable.







Carbonation-mirror



I’ll go under escaping
my own density
I’ll go to zero
Zero escapes
its own density
The zero holes itself
Out the zero
bursts juicy
writing me
My thoughts
burst juicy
writing me
The dripping juicy
writing me
Saturn orbs
rolling out
Glow release
Hollow release
Polar bubble
Trinket







Stability-mirror



I will do it like that. I will do it
like an exacting prick
and so on







Toilet-mirror



Jazz hands briNG briNG
again I’m presented withthe daily odor of recital

now to decipher the purple gut code I say

I think slowly on itReangle towards it
I am sorry to tell you these things
but there’s something of me here printed
in the sculpture in the echo in the bowl







Pixel-mirror



Synthetic pore display blooms as if bacteria.

I move toward the thorns rendering bridges.







Penis-mirror



Oblong

erelong







Deer-mirror



An impact occurred in the netted rush.
Appeared deer, appeared dead.
Then copies stamped every 200 ft:
Dear deer, dead deer, deareded.
They collapsed perfectly.
They perfectly collapsed.
They collated, perpetually.
Wabi-sabi, just a touch dead, deer
just collateral, just staged aside,
a surplus debris on clearance.
Bluelighting because bluesky.
Bluestore because bluelighting.







Death-mirror



The wind molds blue away from specter

This loom of color in an absolute discord

I’m refraining as if to double







Pixel-mirror



Plus the angle.

Plus the square.

Plus its awning.
