Leslie McGrath: An Insight
Your heart’s just fine
From an etherized twilight
I hear myself disagree, I don’t think so
He snorts
Look at the screen to your left
and I’m face-to-heart
with my lifelong premonition
of an imminent end–
a cumulonimbus locomotive barrels silently
in place
as my dye-darkened arteries hang on for dear life
