The Fugue


after Wassily Kandinsky


As excited as you are

by burgundy, it cannot make up

for the lack of noise


nothing makes you so angry


the world brushing against

your sensitive parts


as if your bedroom needed

another genocide

to order things


water ruined by rust,

a sip of delirium,

and you wake up coming


It’s midnight Friday

The Seroquel is gone
