On the wall
The body is gone. /
Prison is more than a place. /
Hope hangs on the wall.

Tracks
All travel alone /
Each in a box car of flesh /
Whistling goodbye.

Fall apart
Stand up; fall apart. /
Brain pops out, as does the heart. /
Night comes; we restart.

Temple
I am a temple /
Crumbling and ancient curses /
Food-haunted body.
