Open to the World
Examine this
the photograph describes the clovers
from ground zero
and the movement away from the grocer
selling right outside the estate
to the man with his schlong held back
against the material.
His yellow, egregious teeth
open to the world before him,
but does he come to this place
where the moonlight shows shells
on those mossy fences and
wooden lampposts?
Everything of his alone
and safe from the push and
pull of night.
