What Times

The upbeat moon
becomes dazed, when you 
start, the dance of death.

Personified, lone word, 
unloved; changes the 
choreography.

Given space, a sick 
crowd, expands, unsquares, 
for the throne.

The abysm from which 
the cicadas are crawling out 
to devour our being.

I do not want to 
control you, your song.
I am burning in my own holocaust.
