Salami?
Bits of meat, fat, gristle, seed
stuffed into a ****** of entrail

Milk?
Bits of fat, cream, mineral, body
Stretched into a plastic coated carton flash pasteurized for your adult pleasure?

Pancake?
Bits of concrete, iron, bone, bunk bed
Sunken into a parking garage of reclaimed marsh in south Florida?

Surfside
Stuffed, stretched
sunken in syrup primordial ooze.

Yes, All buildings will fall.

Casey Hayward May 30
Pull down the shades so that no one can see.
I'm locked in with you now - what's on TV?
I'll rip off my nails and tear out my hair 
by morning you'll wonder how I bruised there. 
Just you and me lying down on the couch
you can bite off my tongue, I'll still play house. 
I'll pour you a drink, do every dish,
shove a spoon in my eye - I'll be your *****.
a poem May 2025
