Demon I Am Undone


Be a cruel specter
a naked empty heart
whose ways of harsh
sweetness quench me

Be everywhere there
were archers fletching
wickedly black arrows
beneath broad arches

Be the double secret
of contrived silence
unseen unAmerican
be the whomever
you are told to be

Be the tiniest tornado
twirling on the tip
of my tongue teetering
like all the eithers
like all the either these
like all the either those

O be murmuring moonlight
bivouacked outside my window
where truncated trees
dance a silly waltz
