The Bland Simplicity of Rust,
image by Daniel Y. Harris
Bone Asylum
Fossilized
roller-coaster tracks fire tithes petrochemical planchette pitched in disused
service tunnels nose-less planes rupturing rupturing perimeter cafe hope
clambering up over chain link interference salt candles burn darkly indigenous
chants chancing ghosts solve et coagula cell colonization sun-bleached cities
underground sub-prime persecution complex post-disaster scenes idle in
developed western real time thinking about breathing not breathing out loud
bone bleeding viscera two natives refugeed and kissing stirring trembling deep
inside bone asylum.
—Jonathan Mulcahy-King
