OVERNIGHT

OVERNIGHT

I am desultory chicken boy
coming home to roost

chaos joker dancing
in the pale moonlight

anarchic fellow
crowing long before the dawn

scarred I am
my features are

sacred beginning: crashed
the party hurtling headlong
headfirst
   from the boot
of your cab

bouncing off windshield
back into the Underworld

life in your
          luxury lap to
utter amazement of all

my Queen of Hades
dancing
    to inherit the Earth

cocksure
this is the life that was meant
Herr Will-to-Power
these the roads most
follow

to dig up
overnight
