Elegiac

Black Melon
sucks the sullen brow of torcher,
Gleeming the sick night in frustration
Passing into horror
coming out

his fun house murders
Its pasted on plaster
Knawing at the door of laughter

Star shines silver,
Im BLIND;
kill the bright light
Kill the orange tree gester

Scare on my face
death with silence
ringing in his ears,
Melting the
structure of measure
Through all these
broken fears.

......David L. Olmstead
