Just in time for Hallowe’en, a nightmare for no one — all and none.
NEMO
i’m a casket dancer
tapping out toe morse to the thirsty silence
i’m a scripture cougher
clearing out my lungs with this cheerful violence
i’m an organ caver
clawing through the black till i find the blood
i’m a spider walker
crawling through the ashes where the children stood
we don’t glow
move till you can’t feel
i’m a trembling coffin
cradling this fruit that has not yet ripened
i’m a pregnant orphan
basking in the boil of attention heightened
i’m a monk of the air
soaring through the glories of forgotten fevers
i’m a child of this earth
i frolic with the ribs and red dust of the ether
we don’t glow
move till you can’t feel
