I chew the cancer beading
In your branches,
The beastly sycophant,
The unbecoming cheat.
I channel release
In proximity to fire,
An unrepentant muse
Leaves, scattering regret
As a giant spills lightening
From the flare of a nostril.
–
I contemplate poverty
The grisly depths,
The unspeakable choices
The compromises imposed
By her compromised identities.
The weight of impotence
In this stillborn catastrophe.
–
I choke the keys
With ungainly fingers
Tiny panthers pawing
Blossoming, alien flesh
Ferocious in exile,
I lick the browning blood,
The fragile existentials
Of a thousand useless clowns.
I do not write but burn
A host of infinite poisons
And potentials that in sum
Amount to nothing at all
