Crackle

The radio crackling.
Speaker like gaping mouth – lungs deflating
Words push disjointed polyrhythms

Radiation clicks the static stripping layers from drums
Needles black, white and blue noise into my back
  image push through hertz
Glare throws my reflection in place
X marks the spot – aimed to kill me

  COAT HANGAR – hood and tarp
Under shoulder blades tendon wrench
  Hi hat opens – hit 1/8
    Lengthening white–noise prickle at fascia

 Into my skin
  Bubbles dug and craters made
