my fling with Cormac McCarthy cancelled
Cormac dead at 89 yesterday drifted away
in Santa Fe my bags were packed +stalking
him was my main concern
there is much gore in Cormac’s books:
a slit throated baby one eyegouged men
on the range sodomized+smiling
deathmasked minions wink
McCarthy captures the nuanced depravity of
the gibbering ape written in blood sometimes
dripping off of a big RED sun
baking that blood into creosote+interstices into
the earth’s DNA mamas don’t let your babies be
cowboys or inhabit the cabins of Appalachia
all serial killered +incested Cormac knew that
we are mostly not human we are the only species
on the planet who kill for pleasure
who among you has not tortured a frog?

..a dark smile erupted on the child’s throat ..it hung there
black blood pumping down its naked belly..the mute one was
drooling he seized it up and buried his moaning face in its throat..
(Outer Dark Cormac McCarthy 1970)
Spring 2023 ..my bombs give me catharsis.. the Unabomber RIP?..dead at 81 took great pleasure in flying fingers+ubermutilation..Harvard trained mathematician demented serial killer+terrorist..
Addendum:
- A morgue manager at Harvard Medical School sold body parts from donated cadavers and let buyers choose which parts they wanted ..June 2023..
