Low

Bury me
down
where the greenest hills
are old
as old as anyone knows
and
waste some time
sitting right behind my back
right behind my back
and
I never saw it
until it bit me
in the face
tethered me
in place
sent magnetic
microwave
radioactive chemical agents
stabilizing me
and the lightning shot
and our heart beats
stopped
and
now I'm holding
a wet wick
in my
calloused fingertips
frozen
in place
just in case
you come back

Just in case
just break the glass
just bash my face in.
