Poem 6


Run fast, and tripping through sweet sludge

Digging a deep sandy hole to cower in

Burying  feathers, plucking my chicken-body naked

Ignoring the hatchett, whole and gleaming in the moonlight

I cannot force it down, no matter how the gulps push

Contraction rips it open, pouring out that red 

dark liquid it needs drinking dear and 

May as well while 

Attending to nothing

Waiting for it to hit

Steam, roll and burn
