monstrous moonshine

"Humanity is not a zero sum game. ."

    colored rags we tied
to a branch to mark the way
    still unfaded songs

the scale of a poem, versus
the scale of the poem's war-world

    clear viridian
the death is not in you but
    i can't take it out

force myself to stay awake
driving in a dawn hour

Savage aesthetics.

"The frail flame-wingèd embers should rehearse" --Stickney
