Dandy(lions) (2013)

you belong––with tall streched tales told by flickerin’ light,    an aphrodite child walkin’ graveside,    ancestrial bones clawin’ up to reach you.    history filling your footsteps–        –your mother half discordant,        an unsteady diskiltered perpetual chorus–            dark dredged echos scraping long, long, after.        but sunlight ‘n overtone harmonies muffled–            –the …
