…infarctus decibel of lung-snag between skull and membrane

…lightless unlock/ shadow of the un-face

…not a sound

…deathed all to the prism pillage

…ice-black/ silence of an evacuated room +1

…disease writhe spinal spasm ejaculate of teeth words careening over the edge into some oceanic vault

…the landscape of the body falls away

…time’s vitreous chamber bites with all the regality of the none

…all for

…as if to

…empty echo/ echo/ echoing fading unto ever-clear

…distillation of soundless space/ still yet the thrum of pulse in the skull in the vibrant loins

…bites the limbs what shadows

…in a regalia of buthery/ of a meat hook glint the banality of hope ever-resurgent/ autopsy/ eviscerated light

…(bites because it cannot/ helm/ sudden to the reduction to ash)

…in the black light/ the pulse is disheveled

…nocturne’s exposed glands and expulsion of synergetic waste throughout the coil of mortal spine

…(eats because it…)

…not a trace

…expired hands driven unto foreign by the sun’s stale light

…chasm shock of blood/ …

…silence re-gathered in the parched throat

…“A prayer is in order, your Lord, your Worship”

…'I love you like we shit...'*

(--David Yow (The Jesus Lizard-SDBJ))

…fresh meat of the unsung black light/ birth-ed suffocate/ exile

…stench room of obliterate/ of discarded syringes burning in a lapsing flame

…the broke bone bodies of the mind

…alcoholically spitting out the teeth from a wired jaw/ its seals unbroken laughter of the shadowless breathe

…asks yet/ distill/ hangs yes/ another day ‘I’ cannot

…fevered the collapse of entity into grave filled with children’s teeth and rusty scalpels/ (as if to…)/ exhales

…the smell of you/ recollect/ a/ dead/ and the brutal flesh

…evidently hung for far too of the obsolete/ the wilting blood/ dense/ echo

…vibratory

…hangs like a killer unknown…(sick…drunk…blow…job)

…a sinew’s noose/ contracted the pupil grazes upon/ roving of the eye unsleeping in vacant lots of bound bones and acrid sentiment

…it hangs in here/ whispers emanate/ copulating shadows sprayed upon bare white walls/ repeat/ repeat again

…laughterling of pulse/ ocular the surrogate smear

…blood tastes like any other

…the silence weighs/ hangs/ garroted tide of exist/ a swollen tongue in throat a kiss of some obscene pageantry

…‘And I can’t take another day…’

…they sway like the memory of nothing come to pass/ never engrained/ ever the return to

A short review of 'The Zero Eye', published 2014

 "If Mc Aloran's antipoetry today functions as a virtual hadron collider wherein words relentlessly rush against each other in a blind escape from the gravity of intentional meaning, this 2014 publication seems, by contrast, somewhat more pregnant with rarefied though recognizable emotions, at least by virtue of the relatively shorter lines. Here, Mc Aloran still appeared caught between the ecstatic agoraphobia of a Bataillean sky and the dim claustrophobia of a Beckettian cellar; nevertheless, the poet's trajectory always veered toward the posthuman spacelessness in which he now clearly operates. This book, however, contains such indelible phrases evocative of a perpetually endangered sensibility that it is worth a few late night readings. "Shave the air with violet", "vortices that grace the skull's interior" and "stratosphere of bled": honorable mentions from the first three poems..."
