night how it’s been
the day heavy boots
up and the opposite of
looking in i smile
burning belly veins thirst
universe aglow hate rage
animals howl at nothing
peace deflates across rivers
city sidewalk why pity
begging bowls super size
city hall loose wires
Roscoe’s chicken and waffles
underpass floods over again
cell phone magistrates complain
power ball alive again
saints of Hoover dead
united in division war


im still awake
watching leaves radiate
baste in smoke
under bridges broke
my legs tired
heart not feeling
im still awake
cursed unlike cain
a woman stoic
my arms crawling
in vain smiling
ophelia is reviving
the world’s fire
hamlet’s ashes blown
im still awake
we sit today
marble and hate
feet shame caked
disorienting paths unwoven
siren lights off
im still awake
