Lamentations fall
in the mirror of Acheron.
The potentials fracture me

Thanatos carves of me
a tunnel
paved with broken voices
of unseen women.
He grunts,
"You are nothing."

A dog with three faces,
of all I should have been,
watches me
dumbly

I ask where the knife is
and it tells me I'm already dead.

A moth pulses in my fist
chaotic
and amorphous.

My orifices bleed
in concert
with the tearing of self.

If I unravel the known
will I dream in tapestries?

Reminds me

a little of shopping carts in the River Styx. Cerberus wagging his tail. Bring it back a little earthward. End line is great.A5
