Chrysanthemum

The magic of the day
Eternal participle phrase
Ritualistically enslaved
To describing how we bend and sway
And why didn't we expect
That the rope would break our necks
A list of promises unchecked
A subtle shaking in my chest

And I am these four walls
And these four walls are me
And I will remain untouched
Like an effigy
And you'll be the cardinal
Softly alarming me
That I am dead
But not deceased

The company I keep
Has been falling fast asleep
Jacob's ladder in my dreams
A member of God's estranged family
I paw the solid ground
A score of innocents
Gagged and bound
And tossed into the deafening sound
Of what was then
And what is now

And I am these four walls
And these four walls are me
And I will remain untouched
Like an effigy
And you'll be the cardinal
Softly alarming me
That I am dead
But not deceased
