demon_killer_sake
stork daddy we battled the demon
with unchosen simplicity
into the deep kelp forest black
depths of the complex night.
dry, dry, the liquid sky
is taken by us into dry.
breaking every sensation down
into the bottleneck
of a single astringent
swallow. this is how
we do away with facts
and the fog induced
by them.
this morning,
the remnants of the demon remained
but fading
i remained but fading more slowly -
outlasting the demon
is the best we can momentarily
accomplish.
we look, we laugh,
we flirt over our heads -
dry dry the liquid sky
knowing it will spill out again
the moment the swallow
is past.
