untitled (readjuster) (Free verse) by pomoxo
The readjuster's come to town;
warmth collapses into my body.
I've got a shivering grin
for the evanescent sun
that's flown in,
dropped by for a quick stint.
A joke it is I'm laughing
behind my own composite,
He's tweaking me back into
the lucid rut
where I love to glide and grudge;
the tangible flow
of yet-to-be-set
concrete,
flashes of a bridge I knew,
a bridge I could have been poured into-
But I'm static evaporating frenetic
indentured to his land
of mirage fields that conceal
deleterious metal and dissolute strands
of the dirt over which
I once had command.
