HEADSTONE SAYS UNDER SIEGE



i thought i must kill my feelings
hunt them down
and lock them 
out in the backroom thirsty

all
my
words 
i killed too
like innocent bystanders macabre and watching
i smashed 
them up into 
acceptable collateral

while i'm waiting now for the poppies to come up
i get busy 
on 
headstone

it should be only a list of movies
because i think 
i'm in all these shit flicks somewhere

crowd scenes or driving a cab

I Think i Am In Them All

and 
love?
love is someone else’s black dog now
the 
aftermath of pets

shit in a carrier bag they’re compelled to carry home
