treesapquicksand

Zoom out to
his body hollow
plates flying through the kitchen
a parched frame

he is Chernoble, he is a failed
nuclear reactor.
I guess the rat poison has hardened again
under his skin and he
scratches andscratches andpicksand picks
and what I immediately
forgot
the farmhouse the blankets

with my arms pinned he ran into the forest
and took out a mason jar filled with a wolf spider


plate crash. letÂ’s go back.
