POEM #5

these hands are black
from the viscid soot of a hearth
coughing thick smoke
aflame with the mystery
as laughable in absurdity, as terrorsome in outcome;
i fluttered with the swivet of all lawless entrants,
like Ramirez or Kemper stripped of their murderous poise;
like some encroaching rapist
or old, ugly pedophile santa ---
but i stuck in the narrows of its brick chimney
and now i am but the repugnant bezoar
firm in the gastric orifice
of this house, we call it life,
waiting to be vomited out
into the trajectories of all failing things.
