 —ANYONE THAT’S MAKING SOMETHING NEW IS ONLY BREAKING SOMETHING ELSE

 

 

vigilante

 

—after Rosebud Ben-Oni

 

 

grace is a vigilante 

  on the lam 

a cooked goose

  left unplucked

if I say how high will you 

  twist your garrote 

fall’s fangs are spry 

  but antiseptic like

a serial killer 

  with a conscience

a dutiful dexter 

  going about the business 

of eradication 

  last week on the phone

a friend was sharing 

  conspiracy theories

when the moon 

  dropped into the lake 

its splash sank 

  the whole town

though I’m still here 

  choking on dead fish
