slow-eyed starvation
a species
at a glance
in
a dance
tarred
and feathered
who
someone is
is
irrelevant
in
the dark
tinder-ed
sparked
we
lark stoned intent
we
bend metal bars
we
forge sharp leans
to
out-shine
the
talking heads
eating
lead
faces
painted
chinned
out
and
ready
to
be fed
every
figment
and
exaggeration
electronic
etch-a-sketches
set
to a never stop functioning
for
an endless solar embrace
in
nickel-cadmium
solenoid
battery shelf-life
see
if it smells right
to
eat and store tight
cradle
to grave danger
holding
face-cards
too
low
you
only understand
how
deep loss cuts lies
when
bleeding
in
the velvet
in
the way
the
Sun
tells it
rising above
the
capture
and
torture
of
electricity
made
to do
the
bidding
of
a humanity
that
is an
un-tethered
madness
memory
chambered
into
antiquity
is made
to key thunder
made
to render skies
a
pied pipered intent
an effort-ing
to bring us
to
our knees
seconding
fears
with
death-squads
in
the unseen
black
garbed
para-military
night
efforts
meant
for
us to remember
what
guard angles
the
angel
and
the spear
what
wound forms
what
the sermon
is
saying
what
moment says
not
to look back
into
any sort
of
motivation
toward
walling off
information
not
that we
wouldn't
or
couldn't
cipher
the
siphon
of
the piezo-electro
stupidity,
mankind
is
blessed with
this
ore we have
in
an infinite amount
is
all the reason
we
chain the seasons
with Geiger counters
we find perfect desolation
in the safe radiation
the blinding speeds
flat salt beds
give off
when no one
is looking
we deep
order
our veins here
depositing
piles
of
garbage
in
the mud
we
bury
ourselves here
a strewn modernity
infinitely
dead
wasting time
thinly demanding more
