room number
when I asked you
why you didn’t take
my call, you said
you don’t like
phone calls, I know
that about you,
you said
I know, I said
I just want to hear
your voice
this isn’t my
voice
you said
horror story
when the twilight
sleep ebbed
held fast to a slab
in Frankenstein’s
laboratory of
alarming reason,
I silently swore
to never write
of the horror
the gut tube
that looked like
a botched sex-change
heavy laid lull
in the jet lull
the rippled jet
the one mississippi
two tick
a boulder
laid chest deep
knows nothing
of the strangled
heart
the soul asks
only for heavy
laid lull
and mississippi
tick jet
