Hobobituary

Rotten with Druids cider, ruckling out breathy rebel songs

Rum ruddled rounded cheeks, angelsheet a bellthroat throng

A house window teases warm light, warmer than any fire without; in there is where I belong.

In fact this house is the house I bought. My son and I tossing ball, imploring him “go long”

The door is sturdy, it’s tripled locked, but not his shoulder strong

Boots he’s not removed in a year, feet like something inside a sarcophagus pong

Visible emanation of stench, impossible sustainment of rot. Ding dong

Someone at the door he opens, the talkings long the urge is strong

Behind his back the blood slick pole behind his back the stoven foe

Something living behind the oven door.
