a poem for the placeholder

my morning thoughts flow from spinnerets
crafting half-dream-fantasies in which even pain
is preferable to the present

somewhere along the way through the desert
i paid homage to the forebears
of the cactuses and succulents i murdered with water in the midwest
and i lost the meaning of true love

i wandered into this web where i am the trapped human
i always imagined i'd be

the lost hours melted just as salvador painted them
and the sunrise and sunset grew indistinct
