ALMOST PANIC

oh i'm scared now
knives in gutters gleam
collected for brevity
remain alone
ye grackle streetlight

can this all go away now?
walls comin down how
glass earth vituperate
please give me the cloud treatment
upwards dissolved panic extant
fished heaven twice, no bread

harbinger rite skeletal
hark skeletal slowdance
wait your turn, skeleton
wait! wait your turn
wait your turn, skeleton
wait! wait your turn

eat, he cackle gladly
one hand on belly cold with hardtack
laugh of a blackened permissiveness

all alone on porch with gun
will have porch fight
photograph nonsense in a flat backyard
and tell me how it all went down
