Nights of the living young

An hourly child
sucks nipples
in doorways

where pants leak
morphine like change
for the night's sexual transmissions

as their mothers
stand half-dressed
like empty syrettes

poking at the moon's
asshole all night long,
waiting to be milked

  1. Yikes. I am uncomfortable. The images I came up with are internally familiar, if not outwardly so. I want to wash the child, and the nipple. I fear neither are clean enough. I want to clothe the moon in steel, for something as radiant as all that, should not be sodomized. But in so doing, the radiance would be gone. So what have we to do Manik?
