angel

i put a hole in my head

so that i might better read my thoughts

words displayed between the pink and grey matter

even teeth stick

into the dry wall

wood

and plaster

drayno drinks

foam at the mouth to clean

the clogs in our pipe dreams

no seams to tear

as we balance upon the gallows beam

high above the city

catch light eyes do gleam back in disgust

for even as my feet dangle

i have their necks bent

below me

forced to look up
