JOURNAL NOTES ON VIOLENCE, DESIRE & THE SURFACE TENSION OF A BORROWED CONFESSION
henry 7. reneau, jr.
The devil is a lavender
seduction of woman with
a blowfly perched on her
index finger tip of
greenhouse warming. The fossil fuel &
genocide of her.
The rumors of collateral
& damaged like exhaust
pipes huffing. Turning
the wheel at 102 m.p.h
into oncoming traffic
& evasion by
omission: It's complicated . . .
The
rope vaulted ceiling
& a chair
tipping. The penance of breasts & bone &
fallen being of her.

henry 7. reneau, jr. writes words in fire to wake the world ablaze: free verse that breaks a rule every day, illuminated by his affinity for disobedience, a phoenix-red & gold immolation that blazes from his heart, like a chambered bullet exploding through cause to implement effect. He is the author of the poetry collection, freedomland blues (Transcendent Zero Press, 2014) and the e-chapbook, physiography of the fittest (Kind of a Hurricane Press, 2014). Additionally, he has self-published a chapbook entitled 13hirteen Levels of Resistance, and is currently working on a book of connected short stories. His work was nominated for the Pushcart Prize.
