hands clasp, just as
you pass,

keep on, nothing
to see

in chest cavities
of many

swells a cunning
curiosity,

and i’m really no
no different

though i try not
to stare.

madness gnawing at
the feet

of under city
baring
teeth,

sunk eyed nursemaids
wiping drool,

coma pools
in split wide streets,

polluted by stale breath
beliefs,

uncover mirror,
face new
dawn,

unclasp chain of
nights gone
wrong.
