The Call

Alex S. Johnson

We waited for the call,
dynamite in our veins
a thick syrup of desire
clotting the mortal instruments.

Dripping from the rudder,
resplendent serpents
appear as coils of black rope.

Making his final appearance,
the Captain plays us all
like harps of synecdoche.
The Little Red Mouth
The little red mouth
breeds grace in a tall glass.
She waits for the bell
the alarm
the signal
to emerge anointed or,
whatever’s first,
impossible.

There lies the other moon
in a rapture of blue wings:
Our serious faces plucking
hammers of nudity.
