A Chilling Tattoo: Poem

 A chilling tattoo

morgan austin




An untouchable dome,

      seen right through

            (Invisible);

      cut by planes, birds

and eyes.


A solipsistic fly (buzzing bees

      )herding honey

            for a cold

      deep depression—

air laid under domes, unto cities…

      and a campfire

            brought into being

              via a

            couple of youths blazing

      for a soft, sore, and

work bound future ahead.


A layers expanse of trampled

      browns (sprinkled with yellow &

          greens).

      In between the blades

a rolly-polly picking and packing

      dirt & mud (slush) made in

      the in-between

            of winter

      and spring,

a cold toe, reimagined in a

      bugs tripping mind—

            mined of matter

      from and industrial dualism

formed from a dualism

      opposed by a divided (60-90)

      idea— All pieces of 

            an “A-OK”

  granted by us [great]apes.

The decay of millions beneath us.
