Burns Down All Literature

Burns Down All Literature

A Poem by Onoma

With commercial production night
tars windows...seared stars scrape
against them.
Something of the infernal imparts
a cold and clammy light.
...An ebb without flow keeps wine
in its glass, even as it passes lips.
Breath becomes a pipe organ--a
side-splitting laughter gathers the
wood of a fallen tree.
The mind cannot settle in genre...
so burns down all literature.
The w***e in "Notes from the
Underground" now foregoes
Dostoevsky's literary advice...as
his whoring eloquence without heart
feigned to bespeak her own.
Words in place of words underscore,
and if they should persist...they'de
be a band aid upon a malignant
tumor.
