This Will Be Another Sleepless Night Spent

I've screwed up again.
Somehow, I've managed to
bring out the self-righteous,
infantile rapscallion in

me, to float myself, flaming
and wingless, suspended over
a sea of piddling babbles
battling for attention in
a bowl of boiling pigs' blood,
sans galoshes. Apparently I
missed the memo. Somehow,
this will be another sleepless night

spent wandering through damn
doggerel, a labyrinth of il-
logic,
wondering how I ever got

in, knowing the only way out is in
sunlight, where I can finally follow
the billowing scent
of birch bark that leads

me to the heat if your crackling
quagmire of a heart
again.
