***** fission
ringwormed and worn
in a fetal position
blue blood(less) and opaque partly venus partly awake
brittle smoke the basement of youth
from the lower
drifting street outlined by morning
gashed translucent wings and braid
empties out the milk brigade
(ice water hymns collided gaze rescinded unto twitching haze)
dried rose thorns upon her head
yourself the queen denied the dead
footsteps 'neath the ardent wonder
shy gaze threaded 'tween the thunder
20 numbers in a pin ***** line
wishing they were pierced by 9
if 13 could he'd lick your prime but 13's 0 next to 9
(number 9 in its prime was nothing less
if not divine)
pulsing thorough the line is fine
young of spirit and sanguine
1-10 were neighbor kinds
11-20 like grapes upon an earthen vine...
but they all shied away from
0....because
0 led a life of crime
was going away
then dropped a dime
he ratted out his old friend 9
then skipped this town
due for the rhine
