Michael Earl Craig
Hotel Finlen
My pasty barked
when I cut into it.
Big trucks banged
the dumpsters.
Seemed actually
to fuck them.
That was earlier.
Now a white slice
of hall light
from under the
closed door.
And somewhere
in the dark
on the bureau
the chained saint
Christopher
beside cough drops.
You Should Be Hearing the Sound
That a Marble Makes
There is a marble rolling slowly toward you.
A marble that can roll uphill.
Slowly over books.
Or a pile of laundry.
Doing a "load of socks."
