days ****** calamity,
jaw sticking out, riding
for his life alone. unrealized
heart mangled, beats
like sounds raged. came
as bark, then water,
in bars travelled-
emptied kings wrapped
a thousand bulging angers,
evil men, crate men rattling
cold drinking the mug
like an artery draining.
Silvanus in swamp fog
tongue, collar
pressed to creatures
looking born, crossing sense,
damning the judges, panting-
reinventing an unkempt time
and our man snuffing
the last match to see by.
