Radioactive warehouse of
****** up memories
stacked one on top of
the other, higher and higher
Threatening to fall
Down, down, down
Crash!
Close your eyes
Now, open them
You never left this room

Eagle claws grasp
eggshell brains of
polyester and light
Don’t drop them!
Soaring, screeching, speaking
in tongued syllables of
animal lore, resounding
through the heavens
Close your eyes
Now, open them
You never left this room

Fire-ache radiating
Hot
Snapping brittle bones
with rapid fury of noisy chaos
Touch me!
Don’t touch me!
Whisper my name like
you hate the taste
Close your eyes
Now, open them
You never left this room

**** me sweet
with bullets on your lips
and my lips the targets
Gleaming red in the center
of a nameless bull’s eye
in some ****-hole country town
Noplace.
Close your eyes
Now, open them
You never left this room

Bury me and tell
no one, leave me
underground, suffocating slowly
I will become one with
the consuming earth
Fading to ashes and food
for hungry, blind worms
Seeking, seeking, seeking
Close your eyes
Now, open them
You never left this room
