of uncertain vintage
at first there was nothing
still, with cicadas shrilling
a deadpan, unamused glare
it began as it always did
strangely named apéritifs
emptied into cesspools
a useless sack of skin
with a pithy comment
ravished and polluted
the dreadful mortification
the scent of wet earth
the rusty taste of old fear
consigned to the waste
ahead of the midnight line
the metal twisted and buckled
causing a jolt of terror
eyes rushing like searchlights
bronze statues of all the gods
the outline of a skull
just making words on the page
they were just meant to be stories
