to be devoured in a place
where your mind has no purchase
inverse of a location
you find yourself here
anyway
the place goes away and the feeling
of it, a question mark in pyrotechnic smoke
most literal
continues
there is a trope in screen delivered content
a figurecomestoyouinadreamandtellsyou
content
(by which I mean
whatever the plot device is)
is a lie
the movement of maggots is not proof of life
unless you’re speaking of the maggots
and only a corrupt culture
will sell that viewpoint to you
the ground shakes with
their nagging vicious drumbeats
so it looks as if the maggots dance in time
