CONTAINMENT
Reborn anew inside a woodland womb,
Burst minds travel through otherworldly walls.
Demolished dreams of perfect destiny and doom,
Suspend our selfish, melancholy withdrawal.
Corporeal creatures clawing at earthly tombs,
Our immortal passions deafened to the owl's call.
Muscle over marrow, we bleed and breed to consume.
This savage instinct that once taught us to crawl,
Has us caught in sticky, psychedelic cocoons.
While artful strokes in needle and ink enact our laws,
Forever at the mercy of a frigid, severed moon.
Civilian tattoos removed with soldier's salt and gauze,
Like a wolf he licks himself to mend the wound.
Stalking flesh with hungry, white-clenched jaws,
Wild premonitions dreamt inside a purple room.
