Low Level

Iv been looking for a place to plug into
Levels are so low 
Way below the line
We waited 

For years it rained
Every morning like clockwork
The trees shook
And the birds took off

Later I dragged my shadow 
through the mud 
Betrayed by the sun
I no longer followed

Escape

They escape 
Through a small opening 
On the side of my head 

Liquid skin becoming cellophane 
An accessory to suffocation
Tries to trim the threats
Of an unfurled canvas 

In my pocket
Artauds’ anguish
Stitches together absurd reasoning 
One kiss tooled the empire
Only the smart escape

Black Birds

They flew down
From the branches
Black flames falling and
Blurred 

Over our city
A less vibrant hive 
in rubble we
pick through the crumbs 
or hide

No shock
Cutting through
Tangled in my hair

These wings 
burst from my head
Cawing
a twisted face
