OPPOSED, A POEM AND A PHOTO

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)


Opposed

Body incondite. Stacks intact.
In possession of aggression, that’s a matter of facts.
Shoulders tense. Head over the fence. Gazing above, lazing about.
Closet despondent. A library of masks. Daft math funds menial tasks.
Hood over. Chased. A cigarette.
Pardon the strain,
face up the rain. I give up, I give up, I give it up.

Dejavu. Another pushes past through.
Deafening crown. Inconsiderate, but subtle.
I lay down in ash, in rubble.

Sharp tongue. Fond of wit.
Lean out
and spit.
