Shameful

pilloried in crushed mint
 killing with a push pin
 sand in eyes
 vaulted in the deep rain
 salted heart and mud stains
 and baptized
 c: semaphore sunrise
 arthospore moons above this room
 all of our pleadings
 all of the noons and butcher's brooms
 shameful the hiding
 painful the toxic fumes
 sleeping under bloodsheets
 dreaming of her nervesweets
 and her skins
 memories in floodlights
 orchids in a fistfight
 no one wins
 now it begins
 c: semaphore sunrise
 arthrospore moons above this room
 all of our pleadings
 all of the noons and butcher's brooms
 shameful the hiding
 painful the toxic fumes
 break
 c: semaphore sunrise
 arthrospore moons above this room
 all of our pleadings
 all of the noons and butcher's brooms
 all of our sighing
 all the immune and fauve monsoons
 shameful the hiding
 painful the toxic fumes
