wind up the
harmonic
blades fundamental to
our vibration memory
vultures sitting on propeller
fern trees
drooping over skid row alleys
of future LAs
a chronicle of walking without
shoes
played on repeat
rewound in VCR type
static board and frayed
the aftermath pre-
recorded for laughs
perfect symmetry
overtone of darkness
paints the sidewalk black
invisible cigarette butts
in invisible hands
only the broken teeth
tear the page
lost in rooms devoid of
light in almost readable text
total blackout last breath
life memory prior to the end
