Sham-polish
Bloating veil,
behind witch
A hyde
I twitch,
and cover my eyes.
“More great and more better!”
Bells peel,
the dints grow smooth.
swollen heels
carry me
just the same.
Peer over
uhhh
Eking, lumpen shoulder.
Nurse
on my swollen, split tongue.
Gently.
Spilt,
soon to burst.
“The Devil is next after Jack as a culture hero.”
jacked up,
The details evade me
don’t make me say it twice...
Peek
through tall fingers
turn your cheek to check
Dust swarms
my sobbing mouth,
(a sobbing mouth)
lapses away.
