hard from the fridge

Sequestration
I never told anyone how my ears reverberate in a silent room.
The whirring drone ever present, a conquistador of my private spaces.

Eyes That Look Are Many Eyes That See Are Few

Dirty-duty rusty and arrogance humming,
Bathing in the smokes of marijuana, basking it malodor,

in swollen skulls of selfless swan-orchids,
that once splattered pigments of poisoned pearls
upon navy-neon...
