Den
I tripped into a foxhole
down
down
down
shiny black button eyes beamed
a dime a dozen for your doe-eyed sins
can you call your mother’s name?
Sleek and shining you
see
me
bleed
matchstick machete prick my fragile fingertips
I see you’ve laid out traps for me
can you call your mother’s name?
Ember red and raging you push me
up
up
up
through the blinding lightning sky
smolder there while I get colder
I’ll tell mother that you called.
