To the Sidewalk Scaled With Rain

To the Sidewalk Scaled With Rain

 

Are you a lizard or the look of stupefaction

Eyes frying in their holes conceive a slithering

Pavement their pain assembles on the ground ahead

It dances darts hypnotic till the displaced eyes

Disturb themselves at play

 

The lizard liquefies and roils

Yards of tendons coil like wires

Till the lizard’s neon sparks in agitation

 

Deserted eyes pathetic folds inverted apertures

See the menace singing down the concrete

Silver cymbals flashing
