Mandala for a Rotten Liver
Ruin is a family heirloom.
Puke even, stepped in last night, is a pattern.
Jukebox stutter or bourbon bruise.
Bruised rhythmic swig, gin-tinged puke
patterned after the dodged question, juked
ruin. Shame still genetically encoded, a looming
pattern. An insistent bruise,
abloom dark as last night’s ruin.
Jukebox-broken, puddle-puked
family. Bruised
-ego stutter. Genetic mandala
helix, a ritual, a puked
-up prayer, a list
of symptoms: read through jukebox
offerings, choose any song that sounds like
ruin.
