With Waking and Sleeping

teeth filed
and a sharpened talon
rip skin away
to tear pieces from the abdomen
bits of this and that
searching for the organ
hidden
in a far away place

the superficial systematically
punctured, looses a river
in which undistinguished moments
float amidst an abatis
of clicking time and aimless days.

an irrhythmic tap on arms
wound with broken lights
flashing rainbow hues,
celebrating endless war,
declared and undeclared Nativities
endowing useless treasure
with caveats serving as beacons,
tocsins against sleep,
to the already sleepless.
