"No White Walls"
By Chris Madsen
no white walls
I want black
and animal skulls
walk into fog
a rain dance
soaking clothes
to howl wildly
through clouds
at the moon
winter came
we slowed
cold numbed us
I need a witch
to pick at scabs
lick them away
who’s to blame
for this taste of blood
in my mouth
it’s that feral dog
whose been
barking
crying for food
