Four Limbs
I wrote this after being stood up.
four limbs.
the tuna thickness bolts the drain.
The fat they tie me with; gelatine cobblestones.
They hang me high, my limbs will sink.
I cannot unearth their Achilles heels.
I am one in four limbs.
Conduit of mirror planes,
I hold brute truths on my head.
They descaled the tuna as it shook.
They run far to bruise my jelly walls.
They compile my faults in shadows.
I am rained on by ceilings.
Lute of my anthem must sing.
I drop what the fisherman brought.
My heart is open, humbled flesh.
Turns brown at the echo of sin.
