I

lament for the poet

swallowed by the cracks in the street

flowers for the dead musician

strangled by a bill collector

in a bank parking lot

prayers for the painter

drowned in white acrylic

what words have we for the dancer

split apart in indecision

sacred clock, holy field of light martyrs, healers

why does beauty wade through dung calloused and unnoticed why is the sweat of the heart invisible why must love ache and peel in loneliness like orphans in the trash bins of the world dogshit on the jugular vein

the masterpiece submerged in the abyss of blood a painting hung on the wall backwards lost to the eyes of babies

why do sons die before their fathers why do daughters give birth to children with faces that add up to zero

as we sit in concert halls with chastity belts and ear muffs

promoters of robotic music

cancerous and vile

mouth stuffed with tombstones

mutilators of dreams
