Forms of death in dance
of a stone's edge, a flash burnt field
oozing with the coiled vine
and the turd's anger,
squares of grass lined light on tar,
breath surging through the cracked Earth,
twin brains in imperfect symmetry,
tent's whisper lying to the persecuting wind,
poison berry of sky where I 
lie down to fade.

Ploughed yards and their ache of structure,
dyed wool rustling in cubbyholes of flesh,
my cluster of rounded mirrors
and denim clad cancer
all reeling into the pitch brown eve.
