The virgins smirk / //
We got medieval on their asses

Paint my face Yemeni, my neck South Sudanese,
my torso Syrian, Jordanian and Palestinian

Not quite full, but bright,/
December 23rd.__
A waning moon for New Year’s Day-/
Portent?

Write power
like a purring kitten
eyes wide
without an idea of exactly
how small he is.

Eat the Body/
Drink the Blood/
Perfect the sacrifice,

As much as the blood
and body parts,
they love to see
how small investments

At some point, you care/
just enough to wake each morning,

We have become//
the sum of our appetites,/
the growth curve of our dominion.

Dreams don’t die. We extinguish them/
waking to the mundane days/
we live in, dutiful and tired.

In games of chance,/
Chance wins/
and you lose

You are terrified. You light/
the autopilot light and trust//
the small machineries of self/
to land things safely,

The story of my life/
would put insomniacs to sleep.
