    Now on Substack too.

    Dusty Hope @ SUBSTACK : Visits: 251

  • Humble Pie ✅

    Roll call. Every neg. That spikes the plunder. Now can pop like bubble wrap. Think of as capture. Put in columnar as artifacts that rhapsodize. Rolling with the thunder. One foot hopper. Holy mulct ? Every wag hog creates hampers, and cavorts with titillations in mulct that rallies with love. Work thru the moo cow…

  • Phishing License

    Phishing License

    Hears whistles, street long trains rains one day, again undeterred. The beam the screamers find if, any, were impeccable, to a valley and a side and a who to glue drew. Old fears like dead gods lived cruelly underground twisting this way that way. High landers gushing flow and crow. The waters waiting in bleaksville…

  • Fill Quill, Tendance et Volonté

    1.1.22 Sent z nys res its a slirpy scan in perpetua shop talk mostly anecdotal — spinning rhyme and let in some fern — Gotta track down specific perps to send to — I know stuck with merica drum syv way — paris review for begot ? and new yorker for churchyard ?? K ole?!…

  • Oats and Dray

    Novella Now Working On. Fluidic remorsers. With lots of attributionals, Beckett the absurdist shows up in accumulato phrasing as a free dusty. Joyce freedoms too, but curving toward shakespear, for that play bird build word take it to the surd family of formations. Particles go lightly mysteriously pursued. Glues against something massive and passive and…

  • Sketch from a Sketch

    Va et Viens On-going facilitated, agile, with fairly exposed pieces recognizable for stochastic and card arts. Work guarantees stimulation of the native Viking village, and sometimes pressure of abnormal faces. Inside, moon active pays. The try fill is to plant fern, and nurture the home village, and then cover it and measure patchy sheepskin coats.…

  • Pal Mail and the Whizz (of Fizz)

    11.3.21 Horror Bunneys Cant keep out horror bunnies — from la lang. But could also call out as hotels//castles /- last year at marienbad is from same crane as kafkas castle. Burroughs Naked Lunch iz a horror, and so is catcher in the rye. But of course NOT ONLY — Beauty under Burroughs wail naked…

  • Lilt Tilt and Built

    Bits and Bites I am the marsala. Lilt tilt and built. Things not overtake able? Cheek in love? Farma a Suit a Call? Hear 0 ecology? I dont think of other people as drugs, or even writing as a drug, I know drugs I did drugs. Experimented, a lot. Writing isnt anything like taking a…

  • Latch Catch Patch Match

    It is propulsive. Desk work hounds the cash for groceries. So I can eat what doesnt kill me. Neg pug slug grants my clap to a trap — en française to catch is attraper. To a swell of freedom — form wise often plows along pecking at the ground, overhead schisms of reckless and the…

  • Habit Tat

    Spot on Literature is a habitat for me now, a breathing organism. Tho one of oceanic starkness and darkness still, it has come to assume again a threshold of immanence — A decorum of intimacy, that puts ear to sluice of page, like Fitz and Zelda, Proust and his mum, or young Baudelaire riding his…

  • Fall In

    Goal of expository nature is to get me in trough with the angels I like to say. Write in rain with certain authors Becks Burroughs — Rimbauds complicity with simplicity, not really Hemmingways. Naked Lunch Break cycles through the Incendiary with Zenus, and then stacks a list of liberatory contentionalisms at bottom to compel the…

  • Beautiful Rot

    Bunch of inter nits, can hear a little something of Becketts clip. Tho hair is swirly, flirts a bit like listening to radiodial buzzing in and out of station location. Title Penisneid Vorbai means: penis envy that potty my past — thinking could be good for title if were to be picked up by Lacan…

  • Twirls My Baton

    Poison Slinks Everything is a voyage to somebody. Not fight that. Let la lang bang be shared. Sill fill till the tank. Woo my cacophony — let them in, let beauty in and the snake will lure — Urgency for beauty mysteriously buries mine in cantankerous love / lore. Its emptiness becomes just another loophole…

  • Nasturtiums Assassins

    Ears for years. I will go to my death with a kiss for it, for the feast of fishes. Marm gears heart charms. I know my courage is like the sound of armpit gooseberry. Salients consider something of a poison? half and halfs like me. For mine, this half: has to make room for: that…

  • Flight of the Flowerhead ✅

    The bad and the beautiful, giddy and god awful. A pride, a prejudice and a passion. Hitting a triple, thats poison to the pesticide. Space to rover for glory, touched by freedom’s madness. Sure poison is jealousy. Or that old hat didge: forbidden fruit. Or the way the wind stirs things up across a panorama…

  • Dried Songs

    Difficult I touch too repulsive offending. How get around that wrt others in trade split this from that. Was all excited exchanging snow. And getting snow plowed. Till poison seeped in — with a Crack — which I remember — it all coming back — Reviewing earlier stuff. Never really went there entirely. Why I…

  • Chagrin Falls

    Doesn’t posses me, that isnt my thinking. Not blamably not personally. Aspects of mega nega possessed my lang bang, took over my heart my cunt my everything. Nor do I seem want to profess any want to trivialize it. But it would not depreciate, I just couldn’t seem to figure it out. And no one…

  • Endless Progress in the Consumption by Fire

    An ordeal by fire? Dazzling operatic numinous ineffable. Rules without lenience. Whenever seems to be getting awfully close — to revealing this niche, a great pigfish in the accumulations of my thirst. That we would have to in some way exchange “pleasant” thoughts on the deep sorceries that occur here in the exploration of liquid,…

  • General Sums

    I guess there is only so far one can get to in Marm — with respect to actionable material thinking. But I love the writing. The playing with sentence structure, has been a blast, as well as something Wittgenstein gets into about language rubbing up against itself, he called Uncertainty in an article he wrote…

  • Brick and Brolly

    Since silk in the hunt they have been on the hunt. Wear flaw to blame work thinking. We Chinese for a moment dealt with powerful rose.  Too in them even on growth single. Drilling buildings that thus determined British stock. Now a thousand percent pagodas underneath it in all. Money on foot they would not…

  • Phrase Hunting with the Undead

    Sacrificial Merit And strained so hard just to put myself there. Beyond my reach. Outside the others boundaries somehow and really — pissed off about it. The wild woody shuffle with Proud Mary became quizzically connected to Sweeney Astray. And the vow cow — it came straight through the “enchanted.” Enchantment is a migration through…

  • Limpid and Luminous

    Limpid and Luminous

    In Pronoun Shifters Working Title fiction am editing at moment — find myself stealing “permission” to pursue limpid (clear and bright) phrasing from Nick Cave — especially when trying to clarify the counterintuitive — where neutralizes absurd and remedies beauty — as find so often “subprocessed” in The Red Hand Files — Albiet my story…

  • My brother the warrior

    Brother was first enemy. Ow. Falling is time, it falls in on me. His bloodwork fills skies. Hobbit not one for moving. Moving. Oh swords kids angry jet Fret bet dimmmm. Heart of warrior, chases the heart. Death takes a bath here — its everything. Cant make sense of it. slobbering dwarf of sorrow. Grief…

  • Says Camus

    As comes the melting snow, a pile on. Where hate grows a gorgeous head, beckoning bait grows sate with dead. Picture a fat trout on dry dock. Eye opened dead. Promises Promises. Lets do fish and chips. Growl, agree to disagree, and gently sip. Back on the burner chewing and angry and spitting and beautiful…

  • Letters to Epididymus: A Fall into The Thrall

    MERCY ON THE PERCY 6.22.21 I have a “crib” and it evolves all the time when courtesy prescribes a gift. Emile was a gift! It happens where it happens. Its more important to Percy than publishing. Em stems thrive on in a way thats bold and rigid. Outward bound she is rigged. But I am…

  • v1 lit bit, of a scream

    IN LINE TO WORK ON Dunning condum nation Sometimes, turn it on here – just to capture its horror on me, its rebellion, expository cry in expunge of darkness. Sometimes shrills up the hill – caroms and catches a cross current of feeding grounds, running around with a stick and other waves of shambling dynamite,…
