Foe forest, faux forest
fee-fi-fo forest.
Where giants hurl
their broken stories
from broadcast heaven
to stone cast ground.
Real, this least of things.
Inarticulate metal arms
pluck down your dreams, to
place within the flakes of
soul slow dying desiccation.
Sick insects wave.
These metal poles sway
clamped to roof and breast.
All point as one, their
martyr fingers show.
As minds walk psychotic in
their circular days.
To stars and planets
that orbit our night sleep
late night drunk deep on
their celestial milky ways.
Antennae wave hello.
Behind smudged glass walls
as we sit and stare
into this aquarium hell
of our own making.
As we spread across
our furniture of
forked cartons, plastic
and messy despair
We start to take on
our corrupt story.
