New Nightmares

Bird in a Glass Box

carry me out of sight
racing hurried mind
smiling, shivering spine

press lightly and hold
firm horrid gas mask
indifferent operating table

thanks for all the sleep
pain, and splintered memory


Piggy-Boy Tributary

little pig, little pig
playing carefully
let fenrir
rend your ear
till ragnarok sounds
so sweet.

i beg the waters
no more please
drowning genius
hum-bl-ly

let the wolf in
let retribution begin
