Equilateral


The mice gnaw at my frozen toes
Next morning I note two are gone
I relieve my frustration with gin
My conversation is unrestrained

Next morning I note two are gone
The event of my thought is silence
My conversation is unrestrained
The lice fall off searching for flesh

The event of my thought is silence
Living and breathing poisoned air
The lice fall off searching for flesh
The swastika flying over my pain

Living and breathing poisoned air
Sick with dysentery and suicide
The swastika flying over my pain
The fractured bone's hallucination

Sick with dysentery and suicide
I appear, apocalyptic, ghost-like
The fractured bone's hallucination
The pitter-patter of restless feet 

I appear, apocalyptic, ghost-like
The mice gnaw at my frozen toes
The pitter-patter of restless feet
I relieve my frustration with gin
