Ghost of a lion

-after Charles Ray


Skinnier here

at the back of the neck

unswallowed

I couldn’t eat my way out

 

Caught tying shoe

dreaming without pants

‎I wore all my clothes

imagining some other future

 

All mocktails & shebrews

onions and crust

delectable transit

smooth in the rough

 

all the children

Lucian & Lucy

the smallest punch for whatever purpose

My gut said this is my field

 

the Rock said this is my relation to field

No orchestration

no hang time no banished theatre

no inner resolve for outer cruelty


No artifice and body

no broken vertebrae

just Jiminy & Cricket

old names in the hour of death
