ten ways of looking at reimbursement

by

I

snorting bricks of black oxygen
ancient gods fail
penetrate cold burnt marble

II
blue, stubby short stone
sacred burial ground above ground

III
centuries scraped the pepper ashes
once a caramel woman

IV
split ends escape
camouflaged shattered burnt marble

V
black molecules absorb darkness
spliced soft warm breath
ironic death

VI
lead bleeding off ivory papyrus
carving red blood on the shaved wood
crimson salt water mixtures

VII
python green veins emitting gamma rays
fingerprints imprint on the yellow wood

VIII
lingering eyes of zeus as I hover
chapter to chapter, pages absorbing sweat
searching for something called love

IX
merlot covered letters
cremated inside of an urn

X
beige cotton
dusty vinyl's
cigarettes and coffee
fingerprint ghost towns
