Fatherless motherless
widower widowed
the boy sings
the jackal unhinged
A bastard, a wish
tobacco stuffed snuff
deep sniffles burns drips
rolls into the throat
like a knife tip
rips, hiccups hic-ups
The sweet burning
Cherry flavor
vomits – violence
erupts as the
toilet swisher
swishes
then flushes
and switches and flushes
some more
the jackal unhinges
the sky empties light
tossed like a pillowy
flower, into the night
the clouds bellow
the walls shatter
white upon white
upon white upon white!
No worries, no ways
to distance the rage
the jackal remains
unhazed, but crappity
crap, the boy shamed
tobacco burning
cheeks, Cherry red
Swisher Swisher
The cigarette is really
A Cigar –
really?
‘cause it taste like crap!
Crap upon crap upon crap,
Crap upon crap upon crap!
The boy sings-
Fatherless, motherless
No more, no more
the jackal unhinged
the boy implores
