Humming in my joints like
graaaaaaa—-wzzzzzz
spokes of metal
jutting
around my neck
growing hot with
impatience
prongs of disgust
vibrate
with
demonic malcontent.
Scurry scurry— brain fleas pop
on abandoned transistors
choke on rancid cotton
break things–break things
run across the dunes
empty me out, smash the
glass for good
measure
then shatter anything else that can contain.
step free, a black-iron skeleton
clutching at velvet curtains
–they evaporate on contact–
alive and electric
rise
and
vibrate
thru the walls of
this
tepid
earth.
[…] black wire fever. […]
