a black gorge
reveals, divulges.
torrent, gorge.
casts out, wells up
from the antique stomach.
a smattering of loneliness
heart of iron.
-
he stands there (here)
along the lip of a canyon,
the edge of a deep wound.
perpetual restoration, as
gravity delivers him up.
instead of down.
-
the hissing tines, taking up
their mouthfuls of skin.
spitty runnels of black ink
evidenced in the wound.
in the word.
-
this revelation of vomitous despair
runs along the corners of his mouth.
old man, old loneliness. age old.
smattering of loneliness
