Ligaments
And limb by limb
Fresher air
Intimate
Caught in actions
Adrenal
Flying Colors
Bleeding down
Pressed against the night
Swallowing
Without self-control
Gasping in prayer
Out of straws to grasp
I lower melancholy strings
To melodies I dance
Hung like marionettes
Growing discordance
Glowering Moon
Spread with a vengeance
Never singing out
Made of tougher stuff
Stones out on the wall
Bones of giants lost
By a Philistine repaired
Such elegant music
Hunting the twang
Memories, movements
Stringent refrain
Passions regretted
Fantasies forfeit
Of how I'd live a life for you
Infinite
Hoped you'd make me an offer
Fangs bared and skin on fire
Reflections stretched
Like the setting sun
Now I meet the rising
Wishing I might burn
Needing a new learn-set
No initiative to move
Crying out for evolution
Thumbs pressed
And yet
My tail still wagging
Tucked between my legs instead
Wishing for the hunt
Never to be released
Never to be loved
Is this what I wanted
Smoke signals to myself
Lost far from eternal
Digging holes
Layered up
Sweeping fever
Chasing but never caught
Terminally Shia
Etymologically stunted
Emotionally bunted
Six legs in the dust and
Entomologically busted
I guess it still bugs me
Wishing to be of service
Now just wishing
Barbarian undeserving
Pitchforks and torches
Thunder and fury
Caught in nostrils
Petrichor
A memory of a love
I have to give away
And yet
Tail still wagging
Meet me here
With fish-eye lenses
I'm wider than you know
Bent but never broke
Smoking out these shadows
I'll find a way for losing
Wishing to be of service
Now just wishing
BARBARIAN
