Rorschached Again
 
 

Rorschached again on the cracked black windshield

of night at speed

                                    dilated mind

                                    snagged deerlike on those brights

I spatter

in symbols & images

impact statements

                                    unreadable yet red

near fatal

full body retinal afterimage

muzzle flash in the tunnel sockets

                                                            death's-head autopilot gripping

                                                            wheel with practiced rigor knows

down to bitter bone

what guts

                        art takes.
