Ghost-cast glances castaway revisions changes must as needs
incite abandoned future spirit golden age splinters the meaning
monocular fact or fate time set snares for timeshare
fraternities intent on fake memory patient lying on grand piano
a woman plays numb wounds oddly angled flashes of white
secret flesh worn out to float contaminated fields in
a dream of skipping ropes empty playgrounds broken swings
old bloodstains on the floor from cot to prime shove
doomed to push and blunder a perfectly ordinary smile
a perfected odious simile for accoutrements of desolate beauty
reign in unbearable vacancy abandoned highways and timelines
slipping into disuse leeching poison from your ‘disinterest’
I have learned to read illegible patterns of desire and control
the air crackling with ‘interest’ a charged ethos of ether
rooms alive with wraiths and spirits imagined into being
death’s splintered features stare back from the cast
