On The Sidewalk (W2)

 

   Inputs ingrained

in shit-stained outlines

leaving their marks

on the sidewalk long

past the date of our expiration

 

   Magnetized parameter

pushed toward center collapse

of reason when given

space to splay its wares

in pressing display

grasped through an orifice

fully formed and grappled

 

   In-traffic enlightenment

full-stop meditations on high

arresting volume

of violent collision

with metal on metal

intersected or crashing against

an opaque window

bruised and brushed dust

stirred at the edges

 

   Vampire bats encircling

helicopters and beams

of God’s grace

on the sidewalk

spotlight down

unholy white scalpel

its custom handle

etched with my initials

and date of birth

Accident Witness Notes (W1)

 


This view collision
schism seeing or seen
shaped by mirrors
escaping formation

Its pitch shifting
echo faded reason
recreating recesses
within weeks

Surfacing face saved
precision fading
shading uncertainty
brushed bruised gray

Hints of blue blood
calm conscious
contrast veins
risen ridges in stark light

Sickness displayed
resigned in knots
common culmination
in twisted fate
