CRACKING SURFACES
BEHOLD THIS MASK
A RECUMBENT SERPENT
COILED AROUND A
ROSE AND A LITTLE OAK TREE
READY TO STRIKE
OR CRACK THE SURFACE
OF COMFORTABLE NUMBNESS
CONTENT WITH SLEEP
THE SERPENT'S HEAD
RISES TO THE FLOWER AND THE TREE
LIKE A SLEEPWALKING LIGHTNING
FORGOTTEN BY THE STORM
POISON DRIPPING FROM A MOUTH
UNCOILING RISING UP
TRYING TO DECIDE
BETWEEN TREE AND BLOOM
SWAYING HEAD WITH NEEDLE TEETH
THE OAK SO STRONG SO GREEN
THE ROSE SO BEAUTIFUL WITH THORNS
THE SERPENT STOPS THINKING
LIKE A REFLEX
TIGHTENS COIL
THE SLEEPING LIGHTNING WAKES
AND STRANGLES
CRACKING SURFACES
ROSE
AND
OAK
