I Am Hanging

A.J. Huffman

from my own mind, like a bat.
Upside down and blind
seems to be the only angle that makes sense
in this maze of miasmic fog I think in.
I flap my wings, forgetting they have claws.
I scar logic as it develops, leave gaping scabs
that barely hold it in
one piece. I can hear it bleeding, dripping
down my insides. Searching for a moon
to howl at, I let it fly, free from my mouth.
I follow it out into the sun, enjoying the motion
until both of us smoke, flame, disintegrate
into ash, get re-swallowed by our communal
cave, cling as breathless as ash
to the cobwebs of a self-contained night.
