duct_tape
raze twenty_one strips
fix a flimsy makeshift
door to the window
that lets me see the sky,
keeping the rain
from raking my brain
on nights when it makes
up its mind to fall.

if this house should burn
with me still in its belly,
colour the embers of my leaving
with powdered aluminum pigment
until the roll runs dry.

was a mechanic
for united airlines
he told me
that duct tape
was referred to
as two hundred mile an hour tape
because it could
withstand
jet flight speeds
if used as a patch
on a plane's skin
