Stigmatic

Yellow walls are swinging

object

compounded out of blood and flesh
is lying down

in brain

copy machine
and
one piece of paper

yellow walls are swinging

object

by yaws wide open
waits

green
red 
blue
crying

only one piece of paper
and it is white

yellow walls are swinging

object

crucified
over stabbed
rinsed out
through bloody forehead he signed death to mindedness

yellow walls
they are tranquilized

piece of paper
only one
colored with meadows and flowers

walls
yellow walls swinging

he pressed his head to the filthy linoleum
close enough
they

will find the way to rape him through the walls
