retablo for an unwelcome advance
from my head I’m a frog thrust
into boiling water a flamingo-pink
motel bursting into the room my
army helmet is a salad bowl I am
the mis-timed laugh-track the raft
stuck to the rug trapped in an ocean
of keys forged iron & slick steel
dangling from kite strings red thread
bleeding web keys to the no-escape
keys taunting & I’m spinning on the
rug a raft stuck taking root in a
storm lightning surging & I’m flying a
kite & a million keys are catching fire
