Wake up widows
another lover has died today.
Open your lungs
indifferently and just breathe
for the insects will always run deep.
Shed tears; ecdysis
and collapse into sleep.
Repeat and repeat
for the insects will always run deep.
Sun rise, sun set,
a second skin palimpsest
and of incest and abstinence
I feel nothing.
These insects form an orchestra
of monotonous songs,
crescendos decay
to a cognitive drone.
A dirge, a lullaby, a coma, a sleep,
for the insects will always run deep.
