periscope

periscope
word on the street is that
i've haunted you like you me
laying in that bed the peeling
yellowish wallpaper how did it feel
the man with machine guns in his eyes
salt and peppering reality with blows
so false so transparent aims at you

glad
you've saved your hair for your baby
and your body you've saved you've healed
the wounds of separation in the many masterpieces
that hot love can create jumping through halos
of night on fiery feet to salvation
possessed by this wanting in
like joyous outcasts
