Monkeys

Monkeys

Sing me waves
crawling exsanguination
catatonic catastrophe
hemorrhaging aneurysm
T.O.D.
out of breath

My fig tree
lay barren
eating scabs again
mannequin skin cracking
fourths of halves
with thumbs building clubs
smashing, beating, fisting
Brother, Sorella, Mütter

Fearful church
these stories myths
truth to build
love thy neighbor
your love beyond tough
taught to be gladiators
Ace of all trades
betrayal not unknown
buy two burgers
eat one, trash the other

Water the weeds
magnetic sprouts of tears
hungry combine
Seymour feeds
gluttonous beats
tales of old depict
world eating worms
forbid the name
only to hear
Homo Sapiens
