REGRET

Nails sticking straight out of wood floor plank.
What is clarity in the dark
...

Demons roaming like coyotes in the canyon
between my temples where they exercise
their religion and sculpt their idols with tools.
They are gold givers, & liars and their gold
...

If I left the door open
and you saw me seated
in the toilette, bathroom's
bright light making
...

Tiny birds flutter in decadent foliage.
Feathers ruffle flat carafes of chlorophyl.
I am every leaf that falls, slowly
swooping down like fallen angels
...
