Pick a word that could also be your name.
your name could also be
a specter slithering 
a candy red puncture wound
         sidewinds,
faltering
The embittered  milky
afternoon
the word meaning a hollow ailanthus   moving 
from green to yellow 
the word meaning ailanthus past  
and in the present 
oranges rot  and friendships  ruin
this afternoon a double double  non-essential 
every changing line lined with sun
life rises and set 
burnished knowing forward head 
first down in ruins and numb.
