Misfit alphabet from hell
Who turned these into words from goblins?
Took my flowers by smoke?
Some
Misfit empire of smiles remote
Dodged
Breeds words by kisses blew
Blue
Remote
Others ambulance
Of Telepathic antigens rush up
And
Oh sirens we sign the cross
Passing you turn death
Into single demonstrations
What is this capacity overbearing
Lounge philosophy?
What is this nothing of letters with which
We counter death
Calling karma down to deal what is ours?
Or leaping from these finite forms
We love that go under
And cause despair
To something most incredible,
Buttons of faith-
The poems we ingest.
