collection of poems

fragment

A whirl in the hourglass

successions of reclusion- 

And she rescinds once again into herself

Seaflower tendril into blossom

Locked in sapphire light

She was dead by the witching hour-

petal lips lavender 

Before the crystal relapse of dawn-

The bloodless murder

Where soul crumples in ribs

A functional illiteracy

Poison in the saccharine 

Plastic molts beauty

Lights gauze over shadow and

the slow rot

the stealthed ribs- 

Skeletal buildings, the industrial lords

And a city, sleek and steel and now

The ribcage without a heart

Of all the beautiful and the dead.
