desolation kings
torturing dead blistered tongues
like blood on my lips
feel your arms ‘round me
blowing kisses at the dead
tranquility dreams
sawing bones alone
i'm some negligee desert
bodies line the streets
grinning dreams assault
vivisect agony throes
protect the masses
Matthew Muñoz's site features an extreme minimalist design, which is perfectly suited to his experimental writing and art, which is also minimalist. I see no About page, no Bio, no nothing, but a simple text list with four categories:
- advice
- poems &c
- links
- things i used to believe
Above that is a single poem (which is also a link):
When Raven slickly machinates,
that jackanapsing maven’s tricks
on cravens quickly hackles raise,
and cackles praise his razor wit.
The section "poems &c" (& content?) contains links to individual works from 2021-2025. I love that many of the works include no explanation, or contextual information, just writing or art. The site serves as a cohesive collection with a beautifully simple presentation.
dream crimes committed
squat existential visions
cycles will repeat
dark nuclear rot –
you appear as one normal
ministers will weep
flayed identity
stopped him from killing himself –
it’s the small favors
