a post before i head back to night shift

another one from The Fatman In The Mirror (c) 1997 - Pygmy Forest Press (Leonard Cirino, editor and great poet). you should get to know Cirino's work. it is wonderful, diverse, often challenging and uncomfortable - and that in itself makes it worth understanding. But beyond that - it is often brilliant and important. his work is available directly from him. i can pass his address (either postal or email) if you are interested. this will probably be the last post for this week, as i am headed to night shift. i will most likely be in the zombie-mode, which is merely doing essentials and trying to survive.


SPIDER BITES ME

spider bites me & my wrists swells & i dreams
incredible death things or i dies actually
& my death is so unpure
i returns, beaded in sweat, to this hell
until i again be holy sacred
