Carpetbagger

Written in about 3 minutes hahaha

brooch from your shoulder and shove it
statues never move within your wisps of breath
heavy forces of solid form
keeping with your toes and webbed feet
dragging down at defeat, your heat wave
encompasses the human remains of the spirit
fingering your brain and your other thing
carpetbagger, your hole in skin
another body to bury in
a homeless man to ferry in the new wind
to keep shining cheeks from digging in
enough for me to bring in satellites
to confuse us from explosions in the sky
yet why must we wonder
hiccup of the brain, tearing of the membrane
in thinking of words once thought inane
from the selfless bank of human skin

carpetbagger, your hole in jeans
your manic depressive state of gleam
and under dust polish you seem relieved.
