Ars Poet­i­ca

AN IMPASSE
to qui­et down
sonar tra­jec­to­ries
on screens
of preda­to­ry idiocy

songs in reverse
as pri­ma­ry brood
when only solace
is writ­ten
as a source
in the story

The night­mares
that ter­ror whis­pers
as vio­lent threats
in dis­guise

as the at times
for­got­ten
entropy sur­ren­ders
to tapped devices

and unre­li­able
infes­ta­tions
bet on the spec­ta­cle
of bury­ing your corpses
in lit­tle motel soaps

when
short is the fall
into mad­ness.
