Night starts
with a drip,
and roaches move your feet.
But when day comes,
it comes.
Fear is
as good as sunshine,
it keeps you lose,
then tight.
The Jamaican bones,
having been ground into
sugar,
are whipped into coffee
and grey goose.
A mouthy mix,
and it seems
to cleanse the whole earth;
cannibals praise the lord
in all of his glory.
And on the way
to the first day
of forever,
the iron in my blood
clings to my gums.
I know you there
on the highway,
as we both drive with our
heads downwards,
our evil hearts
cuddling cowardly innards.
Press your fingers,
dismember what lingers.
Crack those knuckles,
smack those palms
and blow that screaming bone.
