Roulette Dares

Open wrist talks back again
In the wounded of its skin
They'll pinprick the witness
In ritual contrition
The a.m. trinity fell upon asphyxia-derailed
In the rattles of...
Made its way through the tracks
Of a snail slouching whisper
A half mast commute through umbilical blisters
Specter will lurk
Radar has gathered
Midnight nooses from boxcar cadavers
