shitkickers
he's a golden specter
an avatar of disgust
holding on
to childish tendencies
dreaming of ripcords
and chainsaws sawing
through gargling
putrid corpse guts
in a blazing cove
under witch-hazel trees
deep within the shadows
of his Powerball play
mind moves
the darkness swells
in octave steps
slapping his skull
with a leather-gloved hand
so he decides
to head to the pier
grind up the Morningstar's
fresh new carcass
and destroy the evidence
vanquishing
his first death
into flaking maroon bits
and a collected
severed head
dipped in methanolic flames
atop a Babylon
of ochre bones
dusted by graveyard dirt
and stacks of sorrel
bio-organic crumbs
stomped out of existence
by black shining
shitkickers
