REDEMPTION VIADUCT

on the road between 
the living and the dead
the  smoke makes me sneeze

baby in the hospital  with the beer guzzling smile,
chorus line of Ebay tab worry dolls

world between worlds, is now when we ask
the dolls what to do?

they are hungry.

retrace initiation, imitate handwriting, 
drop your voice when you come
to the clearing, dissolve the rodent 
behind your smile. 

beauty-body fights for balance,
unkempt in her garden.

women make spaghetti
somewhere quiet.

what song to play in the mildew cave
and what to sweep away?
