Lamb at a Siren's table

By I echo

Seasons shed seasons and oh thee siren

to my day tremors your smile stabs

its way into my sleep and turns crux

On gravity’s stool my eyes clobber

till worn shackles free to the moon's touch 

Yet in staggery footing i saunter to an arena

where smiles upheave to my daydreams–

like glitter on seashells hung to post

primed for a never-ending feast 

When the child of morning comes

rosey-fingered dawn i canker with nausea–

the size of a country’s tax collections till

dazedly fury welcomes wedding bells tinkering 

to banquets of mouths feasting

to my heart chopped to unending bits
