PROJECT REBUILD


PREVIOUS TENANTS

you recover

      waiting to learn 

doomsday’s face

     its eyes and teeth 

the devil has risen

        the largest rooms 

     dread and frayed wires

      beckon me by calling your name 

  pleading, give me 

flesh to flesh

a hundred hands begging 

                    tell me about your longest day

     despair and disparity deepens each 

parched and impassioned          eye

                              stared and gnawed on

        give our crowns and halos 

                      because

                      you don't live, you recover
