Poems by Inchiki
brain crack
splintering -
a slinky shard of glass
a cutlass
gyrates down into phantoms
to crack the eggnog
of his coconut head
a spinal tap into flashing gimlets
grooving gooey plasma out of ears
the brain ecosystem fractures
overnight into two
once spliced dreams now lie
like unopened mail in the rain
a rift in the pane a tossed wrench
wakes him
hastens him to print
effortless spider webs quick -
to show that he still got it -
had it -
- but it gone.
the elevating stair
at the mind's window
no longer there
the writer dons a snowy gaze
and marches unfazed
out into the sea of ghosts
