Small hands intertwine
Time a cellar visited when
The stars have eaten themselves
Spun is skin between the sheets
Lips all varied but home
in the same place kept are
My memories of bliss
Found footing in slope sorrow
The trek endlessly joyless
Finitely precocious in its perfection
remember carousel
Carousel blathered about:
“Mice eating mice!
Men killing men!”
It spoke of love
Though showed none
Swing swing start so self can speak
Playground pressed into earth
Dirt flirt with spurt of mind
jeering where mouths once reigned
Now new kings arise
New crowns to procure frowns
Teeth fastened to pools of blood
the malingering
hydrants singing drunkenly,
in-toxicated
out-of tune
Radio blaring in the background
The sirens wane with werewolf
in custody
mother cries
Both of earth and woman
Gutters gurgle and choke
“He's just a boy goddammit
Flesh frays electrically sometimes!”
Bottle of bourbon peeled
From corpse, from community
Grave saved
afterlife behaved and obedient of age
Eulogy of darkness
Tusks for taking, faith for faking
Smile becomes sun
adam
beared
my name
I am you
We are
Universe
of
Time
