The Unsuspected. (After browsing in this.)

"welcomed pavement"

labyrinthine looth query
hospital socks, Spätstil
half-muted matutinal
rack of pills
derelict Calvary
muffled crunch of far-off
phantasms spasming
slime monster mash
these walls unshaken

all cries of hurt creatures
find their way here
vend my rigamarole careful
to include their names

no one knows their names

with bright plastic masks
front the abyss
hour by hour like a climb
i'm really good at dodging
wield apothegms
against onrushing night
labyrinth looth query

"Will you barter your nation's soul for development? What witness are you to its metamorphosis of spirit?"
