torn

viewable, training me
the lines which are
or is it
everyone is tired tonight
                                                           appropriations
shoot to kill
rinse and repeat
don't vouch, flinch
floods again and south
fires west and again
wild we have lightning
                                                            interruptions
suffice to say
nothing suffices, save that
accidental unraveling, my bones
what trembles what
visage, this belief
                                                            the table flips

the mattress magnets
set for multiples
all black it burns

long months have lined themselves
                                                               this very reason
yet babies they                                              
                                                                         riot
all head first and screaming

behind windows or cars who is
sweating and torn the
fathers lighting and                           
                                                            disappearing
mothers they can't
                                                                     help
can't be seen at
all
