Channeling- Published in Aquilae Stilus 2000

In her eyes waits
the bathtub she choked on
snaking bruises
in her pupils
adding character and mildew
to her sunshine.

These fingers are
Blunt
Restless
carry secrets to her stomach
hold them jostling there
But, these fingers are
not
large enough to hold
Your scales for you.

Screaming lashes ink the page
Gushing venom and vanity
It's a wonder there aren't
Tears in the paper

Bright frenetic feet
Dance like hammers
under the table as she
channels those whirlwinds
before the buttresses crumble.
Before the cell breaks open.
