the absent-minded walk on the proverbial mountainside of nothingness + my mother's old tampons (Free verse) by skaskowski
intangible lies breed disposable flies
the benchmark of salvaging truth
with the gloss of a dream and the breath of a scream
i see that my
shadow's uncouth
to cling is to share and to live unaware
of life in
the fullest extreme
so i see in the dark of this abysmal spark
the flame
of my torturous theme
with breath that is bated and so underrated
the
master has shackled his loins
to the frame of a door in the house of a
whore
who lives at the edge of des moines
arise from the fog you flea-
ridden dog
and clean up the mess you have made
with a nice spongy mop
and gingerbread chopped
with the ax that our lies have unmade
disposed
of these flies with our crude alibis
the truth has erased where we sat
Our screams were forgotten in dreams that are rotten
All wrought in the
shadow's pet cat
