dystopian bread mine

tiny skeleton
malcontentedly chipping
away at the slim little
ghost vein
of stomach gnawing ore

he opened up his mouth and
then the breath came out
all twisting and swirling
around like little tendrils
of black bread

20 years later long since
the canary died
squaring off with god
at the gates of the
denver international airport

please keep clear
you are delaying the departure
of this train
