Aortas

September 30, 2011 /

She stumbles off, slick, into the moonlight,

licking the strands of time as they come in lurching,

sweeping pulse-waves matching the click of

heels on the wet floors of fate.

 

A lightening slick shudder of fluttering,

systematic disbelief,

boring into a box,

set high on a shelf of self doubt and discourse,

creep up behind the crows and feel around a bit.

 

“Great soil here, Boss,”

cry factions of the wise,

wilting under the weary gaze,

somewhat better than a hole in the head.

Secure enough, I’d assume.
