ode

battles fought amidst lust

planting weight in displaced nouns

spiders drinking my vomit

and mistrust

here's to the way it is now

whispering in corners, exaggerated

nothing

everything is hollow, lost-

is bothering

now,

tears

circling

your

ankles

this is the cost

of the way it is now

train passes

undistinguishable, yet more

haunting,

masked

soaking my feet

slumbering through masses

here's to you

morality

has past

well

who's been ground in

goats and figures

now

spitting his milk

erasing my features

what we were before,

love lingers-

carnivorous and hurt

the way it is now

barely

creatures
