Heat Stroke

Folder: 
Published Works

Heat stroke dangling, cold ice
upon the embers of flames.
Flaking of paint,
slinking
through amber green
tornadoes.
The teeth sharpened to coals of anger.
Falling asleep
in the tent with the
yipping dogs of yesterday
who have flipped burgers
in the groin.
They care, but who else does?
They stare, but no one is aware.
Fly, let the neon lights glisten....
