Love and Violence
Oct 15, 2021
Ignited eyes in candlelight,
impaled inhale
for swallowed knives;
hiccupped inside.
Vulture of my immortal
shrieking jealousies
aflame —
Beyond the breathy pane,
its wings betray
the coming rain.
Don’t you hear its squall
over fernet and bar talk?
The resonance of hell
undulating over sidewalk.
Listen —
