Cloaked in spangled banner
stripes wrap enough to crush
my bones in binding sheath
beneath stars prickle skin
Left with the faintness
of Oh Say…
repetitive lullaby
lulling me to sleep
sleep.
Being rocked at a dizzying speed
still believing
perilous fights
are what cause the gleaming
I am caught
taught/between/extremes
waiting for a single beat
in this rhythmless scene
itching for a beat
beat.
Z.D.
