a constellation of ghosts

what suffers most,
mostly a gas, a walled-
off kingdom of fast
casual dining, our steam-
y chamber un-
marbled, well-
maintained, hot.

press on
ye florid organs
of delirium, sweat o-
h fluid skin.. wear-
in me thin.
wearing me out
thin.

what's become of it
who's been le-
t in
sunken motes
of sparkling rashes
& freckles on pristine
slopes of snow
