fearless.

fearless,
I am not.

I picture myself
smashed

organs all
pouring out
like milk-


they are white
and beautiful
like baby spiders
in an egg sac

but they
crush
poetically
against the ground



and a homeless
man
finds his
supper
the next day, these
fat pale
sausages
I call
fingers and
liver
and kidneys
and then

I will
live inside
him forever,
a beating
memoir
in that red red
ribcage
like worms
inside a coffin.

  I like this because no poet is fearless; yet the poet has the potential to go beyond the restrictions we seem to apply to normal everday behaviour; there's a series of potent similies expressed in this one; especially like the sombre final one, that closes the poem like a coffin lid. I sense a real permeance of sadness in this; life's rude awakenings mixed with some imaginative thought processes...darkly sweeping and fervant; great work..
