Hatchet Men

by Christopher Barnes

Conveyor belt in graphic shifts.
A trap door spider’s spirited for a week or two,
Death in motion, a swarm of years.
That binding
Insinuates the shadow of their foreboding;
This repudiates grace.
Your fall back’s too maladjusted to touch.
Where is your temper now?
