Drenched to the Bone

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

jumping filaments

think for a while
of the shine of your
composure
then turn on a bedroom light

you're guilty when the filament breaks.
read by the remains
of timid rays
from a television tube

pull
the globe round out
to shake for a tiny ring
detained in glass

pry open
a timber chest
and defer the thought
of eating the globe
like that guy with the
cast iron stomach
