Opened, the cherry door
behind whose flame-wood lies
your silver box of nights-
Pandora's gifts cut loose
of its most treacherous spirits-
where metal sweats tarnished
scotch and whiskey.
Here the satyr's ire
crashes down, cracks bone,
wounds muscle, marks skin
with vulgar colors, shatters
a strange raw creature that
used to look like me; quietly
in the morning, pieced
carefully back together.
