Wind form Ocean

 it's apparent that the howling  has structured

a sedative

the spiked  tides

                         blowing

      prodigal time-scopes             looking out into less water     

                                                                                       less and less  water water

that same bloated sense of self --               expelled from liquid               a swollen nightmare rag

gummed up with desire

                                    a nocturnal tent shriveling to sound

                                          we wait in the coliseum               and butcher the fattest animals
