An incantatory slipstream melding Californian English and Shakespearean iambs, Aion's Ribbon relishes in the unraveling of the senses amid overtones of tongue noise. Imagistic and confessional, playful yet cutting, Menzimer's poetry renders unto the reader a sidereal array of reference, rapture, and rhapsody.
Thy truthy lesions, what doest thou enclose?
Enclose thyself, thy statue’s lacy cage?
Rent shakes bees esq. ingesting but dry toast,
and being frank, I burn to be abased.
Be not vainglorious, yon absentee
Florist, your flowers whet, so duteous
Staggers through teargas—foetus who canst see
Dichotic -iatric bloodlet fetish
Friendless, I copy voided discount codes.
Try autotune, sour rags whose obtuse sooth
new note, ultraclean leech them bent oboe,
watchable snuff footage brings down the mood?
Suety nude, graceful arms besmut thee
one duchy iced—in utero etre. . .
