The Burnt Sky Drips Ashes in Our Eyes

The phantom laughter dies like old soldiers.
Each one of us has a spark of ugliness.
After the doctors pull a white sheet over the moon
March into town and burn that fucker down.
Weak bones snap under my hungry stare.
October passes like ass gas from cadavers.
Runaway lovers run down by pickup trucks,
Knives protruding, the asphalt wet.
