bottom

feeder, masked, butter, black.

a solitary hunter

in limited territory.

the steely-eyed elevator door cries

and the steel-nerved radiator leaks radiator

fluid. and sometimes piss,

as a barred hamlet would,

or a greater soapfish.

hunk

I bite you some coaster rings

linked like the olympics

from a blued out Ensō

to candied lemon rind

purpled with warp time,

bite you a watch

more sturdy than diving

with the mark of my beast

retained in a noble bezel rim,

bite you an bloodied arm band

of sinewy eggplant. ugly,

your father chews out

you, and you, him.
