A Hug

How does one befriend the

people they've killed-

How does a murderer embrace

missing life?


The man who loathes death

lends himself first

to the greased-up cycle

of an other side myth.


How he cries his gut

when it never does digest;

How a star burns out

on a full moon's chest


Beside the chrysanthemums,

he too shrivels; the coffin-

hugs them tight.

Anger showers mightily

from the blue, of the night.
