Skin Deep

For all the hours spent stippling forged

zodiacs in the vapid stratospheres of your eyes,

a little temerity peppered your hypothesis 

on why I read the Sunday papers. 

As you guffawed, you sneezed on superficial

(who happened to be drunk and ruddy

under the kitchen table, nursing his bloody

knuckles on the spleen of the tiles).

.

He was the only one who

recognized the constellations

drilled through the tusked eaves.
