Who's In Charge?


Can you differentiate droplets in a downpour
Like fanatics’ vocals in the final quarter
Like the electric flashes charging your form
Reflecting effort—
shining

Outside sweats this
Air so sweet and thick as
Rain hits the
Fire

Escape with a hollow
Kiss in the belly
Of an empty cloth drum
Catching released condensation—
Accumulated heat
Positive-negative clusters

Your face is the manifestation
Of shifting from future to fossilized
Serpentine and spiraling
Sounds intertwine with sight

What song crackles spider-like
Across the sky as something howls
Inside a bottle drowning
