poltergeist
by Leafraker
i
didn't think
no qualifier
no kitchen sink
i claw the mylar apart
the fire is armed is crawling higher
charring walls & mice fur
spiders hollering
can i get a drink?
i choke
forget to blink
eyelash unfurl & smoke
white ashen curl
i'm woke
who's crashin early?
do not swoon
the room is yawning outward
powdered vomit blooming cauliflower
the quickening second
hand
and my presuming gall of hours
asphyxia lettuce
bland
a flicker of reprimand
an effigy of ampersand
i stand
a shadow astrand from its languid miscellany
ineloquent heart, you give up on elegy!
i start
to hiccup
