Bifurcated road
Confounded traveler lost
Obscured desire leads...

Listen to poem:

What happens is a bifurcated
fork, with fate's twin prongs.
You can prick with it,
or can be pricked by it.
The choice is yours!
Is that happenstance,
a chance happening?
Or did you make
the chance happen?...

Forklift tongue ... 
snaky false pallet walk
be a paralyzing pulse dead stop
Viper lung flung from the bottom rung,
slithering slyly to the bury top

Pentagram aborted delivery — 
Fake salvation 
is morgue bad news 
bifurcated breath received

Cottonmouth spitting graveyard shifty
labor blues,
Exhaling extortion sin wage scale dues

Forklift tongue
belly rolls across a serpentine cargo corpse bay
Anaconda pallet walk
got a hangman’s boa rope choke swinging sway...

apple cores bifurcated
maggoty realms
spilled over

long stems bled
a sluggish
green insemination

toward evening
small apes gathered
to scream at the

there were bones
to be split,
marrow to be scraped out
with stone spearheads

it was not the beginning
nor even the
end of the beginning

swamp waters
still bubbled up a choking miasma
of stale fertility

yet some
hunted a muddy earth
knuckles walking

a few agile brains
grew more alert
to upright visions...
