Spiraled Up: Five Steps

I

Coin tossers
Reunite under earth

Creeping blooms
Buttery flame blinds

Another metal base
Bruised and oiled black

Collarbone whiplash
Reinforce Philly powder

II

She cut her hair
Scissors prying joints

He lost his pants
The dead repossessed

Dog's hot tamale
Lodged in to choke

Between a web of limbs
A distraction's hiss

Mel's medieval grimace
Drawn and Quartered once

III

Strangers crossing streets
Lapping up extra horns

Sirens on the street
Down toward the highest point

Alligator skins shining
His teeth yellowed molasses

Each look against them
Life's scourged pinion

IV

Oven mitt's hung song
Noose snapping valves

Air current anew
Prospects to suffocants

Strapped with boots
Extra knife sport

Drag marks on concrete
Bodies born twice

V

Mother in Gdansk
New strong monster strong

Robert paralytic snuff
Frayed storm of Hemingway

Kevin in trench "huh"
Genius to scrape surface

Katie breaking behind windows
The carpet scruffed beneath

Bird dog passing perfect
Another nap light awashed

Otherliness breathing
A white sheet to huff
