Poetry of Issue 9: Heave-Ho

Heave-Ho

Breathing white fire

in freezing air,

winter dragon, albino

already extinct dinosaur,

I am a truly terrible

lizard. The heat lamp

recedes from the terrarium,

the heartbeat from

the sternum. Star

points on my snakeskin boots

kick me in the blue

seat of my pants, time

stamped and out

dated, an out-of-date newspaper

scraped together

from hearsay, heralding a black

and white blizzard of the big screen.
