Traveled to me in the belly of a
shark
Curtain veil of teeth, triangle
sheath ringing
Fists full of jangle rattling the
tense
Now or past, unplugged and crashed
Eyes blue and cold, gray in shudder
Tame the monster and lash that thin
line
Cross a double helix rung like a
mission bell
The bombs are scouring from above
Sanctuary or leave the fire to
chance
Napalm tempting dawn to stay out in
this dark
Bending flint in the second the
Earth gives
Allowing a cycle to reinvest one
damn breath
A head breaching the surface, even
crocodiles have to breathe
Been here holding these cards for a
creaking screen door
Trouble banging the gate, letting in
what the devil has made
Raging like peace forgot to show;
you wanted heaven’s lie
You got me darling six rows of spear
heads in jaws
Spare parts and junk yards piling in
this frame
Driving a thunder road rattling
wheels and brimming steam
Take my hand become a killer lover
in the night
Tales of letting and let down
cautious lever tilted stiff
Soaking in the oil of words we both
know have never worked
If a bend in the ray could make a
flower grow another way
Maybe we could try, but no orchard
in caverns to buy
Coming out or in, down in the maw or
burning the bin
Of domesticated metal and mop and
glow tiles
Rotating the shined decades and the
monster grinds
Thrash the definition of never
letting blood in blood
Destroy the fortress for an
intruder’s scent
Death before release even if the
assassin was an apothecary
Poisoned from these native spores
Distance, distance the shark always
wants more
