ALWAYS, ALWAYS
Always, always
the dark nightmare
of your revel
in the hairy forest
of hot-house men
haunts my naked thoughts.
Flashing between the glowing flies.
What do they need light for?
What do they seek
in the deep grass,
the fallen flowers
the rotted roots?
Moonburned I turn
away from sky
bright with too many stars,
too few clouds
to shade away the laser truth
of fixed beacon warnings.
Always, always.
