OBTUSE MYSELF

The hard core cult was fixing
the flies on the podium.
A snapdragon becomes a cannibal
devouring its own seeds.

Beyond insanity lies the phantom zone
where you hang upside down your faith.

A lunatic threatens to jump
from high tomb -
after excavating the remains of
a forbidden fear.

There was nothing except the
worn rags of a fakir.
