Alarm Clock 4:48

Mike Brennan


The paints of the poppy sculpt my health while
the blood of fine wines ruin my rhetoric
causing both hands to tremble as I type
the final lines insisting
I have maintained a satisfyingly chaotic life

A crusade for reality in a carnival of gleeful sin
and some different way in leaving the
right expression, intact, &
perfectly embalmed within

The shark tank of my morning mind
frenzied upon the discomfort
of my appetite of memory
churning itself around the remains
of my rage
repeating itself
ad nauseam.
