SMUDGED ALL OUT (ERUPT)

SMUDGED ALL OUT (ERUPT)

being inclined
towards this stupid
pretence
of an art

can’t seem to
shake off
all those demons and
hobgoblins
putting
   images in
my head
words
into my mouth
telling me
to write this
write that

so hearing about
sage smudging
figured I would just
smudge
those unruly suckers out

turns out
  just to evict one of
those pests engaged in
this constant invasion

would need more smoke than
if  Vesuvius, Krakato
Etna, and St Helena
should happen
                       to
simultaneously
erupt
