Living In A Beautiful Place

Even living
in a beautiful place,
ghosts of my legacy,
mantric thoughts
given like poisonous candy
by the beasts of conception,
reside quietly in sealed boxes,
folds of musty curtains,
and corners of rooms
concealed from sight
in deepest shadow,
until I, who am so jaded
with the odd and unusual,
snag a pant cuff, or tear
a sleeve to blood,
and once again,

the chants begin.
