No Christmas
Durham, etc. Blues [pt. 19] (debris, imitation)

19 

awakening,
she replays you her nightmare

discovering,
I find another set of bare-
bones blueprints, burnt
to cinders

unwrapping,
the day light unveils yet
another gate slammed shut

decomposing,
scribbling ammunition verse
in a McDonald’s booth sipping tea

emulating
words in vain, in the guise
of the monoliths before me

mad ones beckon
