Squatted Upon By The Hippo’s Dollars

Patrick Longe

stiletto plunges
icy dull murder rises
as the minutes gather
the refuge of sleep dies

creep of regularity
silent groaning

of what music can you cling
it is no defense
from the caricature of chosen duty

balance those regrets
with the ripe burgeoning virile
images of potential
flirting mass
fed with every blather of sheen
gaping consumer mouthpiece
possessive trunkload of breaths
comfortable log of tooth
a smothering Warhol
invisible cyst murmuring
you are really free
gluttonous beast happy and fed

us clean cloth oxford
of no bother
it’s the face of faith
spurned by no answer
judging
as a squirrel
gathering nuts
only to forget where laid
