mid-june, in south carolina

some malevolent, angry squid lacerates me
with ember-tipped tentacles and refuses to let go.
a small hurricane threatens three quarters of my heart
and that doldrum-red dream ballooning and rattling around
inside my chest cavity is barking to be let outside.
today, the day the sun got so hungry
that it sat ourside my door and wailed.
