gumbo

to blurt
confessions

allow the snot permission to
agitate the labialis

as the belly sags low
cradled by clipped belt

and breath is spoken clearly
smelling of spit
and cigarettes
and whatever breakfast

a lean so real
so wreckless
and perhaps clumsy

wreckless
gratify
offense
or
flattery
bystanders

epiphany
ephiphony
anythings
commence

for no
negotiations
allowed inside
or dustpans
or apologies

but bystanders
and the moon
