smoked salmon

tarter sauce or blood
I cant tell which it is
staining my to do list
there were no torn limbs hanging from
the eucalyptus tree

it was a savage garden in the lowlands
where I chose to seek rest
apparitions were heavy
but agitators were few
it was never less than a hundred
in the shade

if I never wake
let me rest
the contents of my remains
have already passed along
the news

sorry I didn’t give any notice
about the sudden divorce
of spirits
its just that I
never knew I had my own

as the lime fizzles
and the motor
is left running on a different schedule
I thread the high-wire act
with a slipknot
and call for a witness to the prosecution

there is no easier time
than tomorrow
