Future Deleted Experiment of the Present # 2

“Not Your Mother’s Witchcraft”

the closest thing to a brother

is the fact he has no other

spots his father in the mirror

in the trash he sees his mother

hits the town with many beasts

yet lays them down in lonely sleep

the ache of worthy partners

the price we pay may be too steep

drink to the songs of martyrs

and a wolf among the sheep
