swam song

swan song in swampy summer sheets
a curve of neck, a stapled eye, a shut
door opens, repeats.

march forward face forward legs up good
dolly, bleach those feet and bleat, keep
the hardened wood.

swan song over your shoulder, now catch
white wave rolling your mouth, he requires
collection boxes. wretch.

gag reflex in high regard, eggy tongued gift
tickled ear pink piggy, wear the thong and
he'll come along with his fist.

moan, how we cows moan in the heat
each mother serves her other, turn,
repeat.
