Imprisoned

a couple a summers ago,
a physic young crackhead sold me a throat,

"dark frog you!" she croak.

desolate corner.street. fishy swamp soap trickles ovary
the fresh powder.

teeth chatter
and sweat feetsoak. down feather dank overworld whirled a paper tornado
of brown skin

i am bleached. it burns to be clean

as my colorless larynx
disruptured when she sang the crack song.

another Saturday's Child

whitey gets the chocolate mopped from his cheek by his mother's
milk cloth
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
open for attack
widespread sleep. horror of observation.

stabbing her good-eye.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mix a Mandarin-Italian mutt

whose umbilical chord pulses in the white snow
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the point of human start sorrow
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------bone white as your snow
marrow
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
married to mine
in rich, cold blood-cell toffee.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you were to eat people,
who would you choose?

we took a portrait of the lamb before the sacrifice.
before the slaughter,
laughter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a violent circumcision
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or he is unclean.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and I always, unable to unclean

between 6 white walls

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
twenty gunshots on the prairie
