Crimes of the Human Form

The hide of a Rhino

to the human form

has the same natural urge

for violence. 

Perception is also skin-like

is also crushed by its own field

with its on frame to tend to

crouching like a voluptuous nude,

among the cornstalk,

flanked by the waist side.

The body realizes

its in the wrong place

that it has never moved

screeching at the transparency 

of its form,

tempting to reach out,

to be the image

beyond its environment,

groping for a face,

escaping through the mouth

But with no legs for landing

it rumbles with its mass of bone

coddling the floor

crowned under the wattage

of wriggling light bulbs.
