The Original Poem by Terry Mulert

The Original



I walk on legs
of parasites
feet of rotten pears
with the tongue
of a perfect hibiscus

my fingers have come unglued
my hands are stitched together
bags of horse hair

my eyes
are rose colored
perfume vials

my dreams have begun
to win arguments

sometimes at night I climb onto rooftops
and watch myself sleep
between the rows of corn
that have taken my name
and not apologized.
