Ian Martin Literature Poetry

a fear of fireworks

Ian Martin

 

that i will die better
than i exist

that i cannot own
desire as i exude it, let it go
unabated into excess

that my entrails interpreted
will be used against me, someone else

that i was defined against
the sky tonight, nothing
more
