Dealing in Cover


Running in death

standing sunk

encaged

quicken, away

darkness-facing

corners staring

seeming impossible

nightmare

 

vulnerable center

hollowed core

patrol-weakened

execution-style

fear in license

or code

symbols

risen power

religious fervor

protection

the preservation

of what

 

given in darkness

where were we?

what protection

was written

in our wills?

what time?

what color was added

bled off

taken away?

 

wrong place

wrong body

projection

looks older than he is

doesn’t project

comfort writhing

wrong way

sending signals

down the corrosion

 

erratic prayers

hands of god

triggered

harbinger

vulnerable moments

dealing cover

favored clients
