and so the trail brings me again
to the hungry hunting strangers
secrets creep like a broken machine
to take their feast on melted flesh
they lay in beds of dust and croon
distant devotions of spiritual synergy
putting me in a purgatorial trance
i really feel like a baby buoy ebbing
in little rocking whitecaps, unchained
lost at sea where the dolphins dive
and schools of fish swarm and nibble
the prized barnacles from my husk
all i want to do, for us, is just hush
A most unusual metaphor,
