I’ve always been taught to
survive by any means necessary
but the efficacy of that jab
hasn’t been sufficently tested
on people like me
So I’ll stay indoors
& remain ashore/ indeed,
masks strapped to earth’s
decadent carousel
You need a body to experience
this circuit circus comprised
of crayon colors and politics
I’d have to say more than once
I’ve contemplated tearing my ticket
But I’ve got to live with it

once more I barely sleep
& when I do dream its suspiciously
foreshadowing
catastrophic:
/still trying to grasp
if any [the meaning]
and if there’s one?
it’s not & never peaches and cream
fuck the sickly sweet
-LM
a sensual hold on my waist
as his body led the dance
whispering low if he’ll have a chance
refuted it with silence
finally opened my maw &
revealed myself
though all my pointed teeth shone
in the lowered light I could tell
he wasn’t ready for Hell
–LM
the sound
the sound
a blood curdling scream
bloomed a rickety spine with ice ___
full stopped the fox,
though he knows for certain now
he’s next
–LM
