A rolling stone gathers no moss; A rolling rock gathers no...

Dog


Fire will consume all things &
I become a wolf, then shed:
a naked unimpeachable canine 
wild without reason or coat. 

I fly between walls remodeled
in ash & bone, my jerky tongue 
the only reminder of my flesh 
save ragged ligaments 
like fragile sentences composed. 

Across dead cinemas I vault, o'er
teakwood carriages & children's last
goodbyes. Their eyes are glass now, 
eyes of blackened doles. Their eyes
are black now; eyes of hardened wine.
