POEM OF THE DAY
O CLOCK
A cock, a doodle, of jaunty duration—
The tyranny of is lisps ukases in an orotund sacristy, assumes the travesty of vestment—
The muscle of tock marks time ticking off its dooms each second a collapsed cathedral in a sack, a baroque piglet in a pulse of velvet, squealing zeros as it drowns in the blue whine of blood, the flesh fissures' tremolo—
A sock, a doll, a living doll, of her.
