Hungry

Hungry

grind for a little bite 
chaotic jump
chaotic middle 
tranquil end drifts 
and floats away 
like a firefly 
I was lured by a tease
promised land
from the snake’s mouth
I’m a lion with
his ribs showing 
claws and teeth
at the knife fight
incorporeal reins 
levees break 
I believe that I could 
mend the spiral 
if it wasn’t so goddamn sharp 

Drought

The Inevitable Strain
