Squelch

Twisted into
Psychic will to
Make it work.
Give it a jerk.

Pull it taught,
Like time forgot.
You know you need it.
Cut and bleed it

Along the ground.
Instinct unbound.
Obscured by surface
Chatter cursives.

All the while,
That vantage smile
Pulls toward horizon.
Scenic sizing

Works within you.
Read the menu.
Order up.
Hold forth the cup.

Pray for refill.
Bar and grill.
Long cool counter.
Thought you found her.

Empty promise.
Find your solace
Open ended,
Broken, mended.

Field of wishes.
Broken dishes
Still need washing.
No hope’s worth squashing.
