eleison

leap
into dumb cloud
experience

 

our roller derby players’
klaxons
cluster to

 

loud
effect less
milk than luck

 

and as we continue like this
the fly-by-night mechanical cow
I have become

 

piles on expectations their
squeezed
drops

 

drip over dark arenas
witches
and wizards

 

come
on their sticks
and come says the monkey

 

the angel agrees
but I
feel nothing

 

nothing will
please,
please

 

have mercy
on us we once
were sinners
