QUEEN OF
THE KHMER
ROUGE

here is
sealed system

rivers
of blood
but otherwise
no flow

we thought
there must
be flow
it all
would be flow

heartbroken my poem
bombed into oblivion
must
ape your contours

chocks away
I say
clocks
back
to thunder

linebacker blitz
thunders
be rolling

agent orange has ordered
her last
Singapore Sling

checks her watch looks
in her black book
scans the list of
unmissable rendezvous
top
secret assignations

the red on
her face marks her
with a look too
geisha
for my liking

if you are not
salt of the earth the Earth
will have
to claim you

that truth is dialectical
just do
the accounting

so many stars up there unsullied
outnumbered by bones
