Extra Mugwort
a prayer carved in
his bathroom mirror
needed a titan
got mosquitos
time’s blurring thinner
I’m rushing
blood for a penny
rice for a ghost
locked door against my shoulder
bursting
black veil the spotlight
I won’t see it clear
this microphone is decomposing
maintained the distance
I glued my mask on
that stays plump
stuffed with rosemary
and vervain
snakes near my neck
a jagged river jigsaws the crowd
