Guy Wires

These converging lines

are not crimson ribbons

but Sangria dipped

guy wires.

.

My plaited hair supports the

mortar, but tourniquets

the plumbing, dampened

over years of adjustment

I wondered into.

.

So, when the order comes to take arms,

I’ll sit upon the century post,

Centre compass.

.

No man’s land

No man’s mercy

For a neckerchief

That is bloodstained.
