Untitled
Allotted a steel corner in the
Boardroom hall
Crouched on pin legs the
Devil’s pet dances
Entertainment for the
Fallen crowd, merging, mending, swarming
Gallows for a trumped up
Heartbeat like a hummingbird’s wings
Insides boiling, slick slab of skin molding
Justice for the raging madman
Kill the sea of bulging
Larvae building up
Multiplying, feverish dreams toying with the mind
Never-ending maze
Obvious buildup for the cracking skulls
Please, please, please, help m-
Quarter of a person
Recycled parts for the people
Sold into admiration
Tantrum of a broken child
Uranium baths and toxic bubbles
Veracity, a skin deep metaphor for a racing heart
War on the body’s status quo
X-ray peer into rotting lungs
Yellow burns on skin like a doll
Zodiac ticks of a clock, running back
Anxious drug lord
lend
me
your
safety.
