Keepin Busy

Keepin' Busy

antidote warship junky machine
red arrow black letter
invisible scream
murder and toil
and wicked and may
a silver seraph separates
the rooks from the crays
tunnel vision motorcade
whiplash in the serenade
every other working week
blow the whistle
hide and seek

hide the other
lover's brother
hide the fallen
in the gutter
terrorize another's
eyes
and beckon backwards
jar of flies

a terror tremor, open wound
the skulls all cackle
at the moon.
