Crane Your Neck

fear burning a devil brain
taste of copper & aluminum
no way to go
not sane
but breathing through the walls of the world

this messenger
boggled like clocks
sleep burning a desperate brain
rocked on
cradle rocks
unkempt
undecided
unreal

no way to go to bed
covered in sweat & tears
ripped across
unzipped
bled
until pale as the full moon

don’t stop the stars
taste of ginger & titanium
seasoned by scars
you sparkle on, my dear
