Did I Get Anyone On Me?
By Mark DeCarteret
the crow went & stole
what we once thought
was day & what will now
be known only as down
time or the crow's off
the debate which took
place between tongue
& the hallway's asides
has all but been done in
except for the little left
over in each of the lungs
sloshed bucket of contrivances
my heart's become a laboratory
these veins sluggish w/equations
a spider's rearing up at me
I sing back my fears to where
my other lives are maintained
a sinister blurring & negligence
bandaged up into biography
o doorbell of Hades!
we have succumbed
to the intrigue of powdered drinks
or what little the ice has remembered
more knives are lined up to be swallowed
something in the rafters akin to an angel
passing out within its own wings
