a short stop on
laughter
signals a price to pay
a fog simmering low, oppressive, bright
know the war starts at your skin
know the war does not stop there
plan escape routes
plot the outline of the soul
pull wishes from your tooth
count the hairs that stand alert
tag, London bridge is falling
write everything down
let it fall from your throat
like a moan gone astray
barking, mad, rabid
let it be wild
this love
this laughter
of a night given
to riotous decay
