Forlorn at last, bleeding without fantasy
the minnows of a river's swampy blood.

Born in a pillowcase with
laser tipped eyes,
tied between cloth worlds
into an unseen neon pretzel.

Fished out of a low hanging cloud
with newsprint skin, dragging
the chatter of tinfoil ribbons,
plumes riding under a copper mask.

In the aisles abandoned
to cracked music,
on the wax highways
there's nobody within
the solitude that has no name,
there is a tag with glowing erasure
flying from the flag that's gone.
