(edit | back)

you won't pray

if they don't stick a camera
in your face
you won't pray
dull and hopeless without
the flicker on your cornea you
reflect only yourself
and fear.
seeing anything, and dislocating
the down town smiles and cigarettes
the passing smoke of afternoons
and movement more or less
into a horror or a step
into a blessing or a curse
dexter and penelope who
somehow bear in stripes and holes
the hollow soul of a blistered world
that simmers
oh and an argument or worse
that plays back static
in tape players' cars
and stereo houses
watched by photographs of martyrs with
gleaming halos
