Deputise the means of resistance /
I’m folding over in my cell-room of
misplaced desire / scrabbling at
stone walls with a stolen spoon /
oh give me an answer you quiet
/ give me the key you masked
bastard / your face forever in
the shadow of an oversized ego /
I walked into this trap voluntarily /
or at least now I’m telling myself
that was the case / open and shut
like a hood in a car crash / oh why is
love such a guilty thing / one day
the door swung open on its own /
almost as though I willed it by
not caring / but I’m worried
it leads into another cell / mitosis
of my anxiety / oh how I am a
lost dog on a hiking trail / head
to the ground trying to find a scent
of tomorrow / my feet are walking
too fast for me to catch up / or maybe
this is all a dream and I am a butterfly
on the corpse of a sheepdog / lapping
up blood in a pseudo-poetic / hope
is a dangerous weapon / especially
when it comes to the heart / I walk
out of the prison compound
nouns heavy in my mouth’s
riverbed / the fish long dried
and dyed shades and shades of pink
