Tripe labyrinth of concave eyes
excremented
into yellow and brown iris
puddles
corroding barbed-wire
iron deficiencies
cacti thorns in our
side
winding entrails
on the trails
to nowhere
to everywhere
talon teeth gnawing at our marrow
ravaging dog to a bone
prosthetic dreams
crippling pestilence painted
on white gardenias
by tongues through clenched lips
bleeding waste everywhere
bursting
distention
caused by ephemeral
bloating of pride
cast into oblivion
caste of sad remembered
second-rate anatomy
crisscrossing
callused palms of deceit
tropical palms of Nordic
veins strangling
placenta hanging from a tree:
Piñata
