Ground Zero
Black soot and dust;
lungs perforated with cries,
a ship sailing away

Fanaticism
Ears filled to the rim
With their own fractious thunder;
faced with deaf mirrors.

A Jerk
He’ll snap a finger
Worlds under his feet crumble,
he fantasizes.

The Fetus
An alien in
my body, sucking my blood,
pulling on my bowels
