My face is an un-
welcome mat, urging you to
wipe your eyes elsewhere.
Death masquerades as
a CAUTION tape finish line,

Punitive sadness
like a blowup doll orbiting
your lonely heart.

It’s the parallelism of commitment that gets tangled
It’s the hermit torturing itself to death
The boychild of the clan is crushed in the mill
The militia garners the cold for us
The wraiths offer us air,
