Powder Burn Baby

Peter Magliocco

Rihanna          of Russian roulette – as seen on CCTV
         for insomniac inmates
                  of digital escapes>
in that edifice of despair
your grieving body rises
from a sweat-of-shadows

to show an attitude we cling to.
When the cylinder spins
your last love bullet
I’m like an old priest watching
         Oversize sky footage:
From a lost interrogation
My prayers become curses
Encircling what stays
         In hip-hop hopes,
Metaphysic so blue
         Powder burn baby
We all will
         Chill

In streets of red zones
Meshing whip-words on flesh
We wait to kiss remnants of

         Your
                   gunshot
                                    seed
