Massacre Song Foundation

Chorus rumbles constant throughout night

storied roots curl around obsidian

arrowhead dissolved into shaft groove

you unbuckle the stems from your leg

Coda’s systemic sameness & design

monsoon shovels clay onto hand

pushes up arm, pericardial shift dams

its build you prostrate in an office chair

Massacre song foundation roll fields hypoxic

grasses scribe a hill slope horripilation

a pronghorn horns the air stirs skin cells

Unpeel bison hide bundle

piece stem into its chamber

pillar a room with red cedar smoke

Confusion forms to recall its palms air push

different if not warranted you hear only

past reflections bounce off the keystone surface:

a beast skips on a butte

thrown across a wheeling prairie

oak shadow outline casts to your interior

walls angled from captured leaf veins

Unmoved trailer homes center scene

cottonwoods bend your head

you thumb forward then walk
