Kerri shying R # 265 - After the Queen

After the Queen

I have the key

 now sliding

 in the  metal bed

I’m back  from Lawless            whole 

I find

the soundless lounge

unspattered 

seems surreal

in pristine clean 

this is not

the land I left

my bedroom

 comes a cold sweat

spurting 

I find nothing I find

one small dog sad

dressed in cable knit

confined to floor mat bed

too afraid to wag

those arses

I rage into the kitchen where

the shine  the gleam

arrests

in the slight striped habit

of a tea towel   what wells

in the drainer

lined up by taxonomic principle

conceived in Stepford heart

butt plug hummer rabbit

 oh my heart  this is

vengeance

this is more than I can bear I am

this spirit    of lawless

I pick up the phone

it is time to

fight back            I say

I believe  there has been

an unlawful

entry

 do come
