In the sky of my
stomach
the soft white clouds
of marsh mellows
are claws
intersecting
speeding through
red lights.
red is stop
yellow slows
green to go
the razor sharp claws
expanded in the
dead moonlight
like knives on the night
of a murder
scratching the
surface of a dull
blue interior
flashing bullets of
lightening
thump in throughout
this diseased sky of
my stomach.
