by Jesse Jang

and in one fell swoop, one fallen heart, teeth bared

a tentacled red beast, arteries flailing like severed,

uncontrolled pressure spraying rage,

lashed out and greedily chased

generous beggar and see-through smile and indoor eye

and kindred soul, and thoughts intertwined

away, lest they speak his mindsafe's truth

(that really he is nothing, plagued by sad

dimming dreams and aggregates of his lacks)

so that even a single person other than himself,

knew.
