Nuclear Waiting Medicine Area

Just let me look long down exit hall
                  unstirred.
                  flanked in red stripes.
                  walls calling calling.

I fall down the trap door
                  of my hissing ears
I drink the wavelength
                  of fluorescent mirror,
sharpening red trigram of radiation.

Peel down by bark & bone
                  lapse my body groan
                  fork it open, release the steam
                  unyarn me
                  peel away my shawl of stories
                  shake the etch-a-sketch
                  cart away the bed of gliding crickets.

Stop that flitting rattle wheeling
                  rub the graphite clean.
                 
                  Just let me breathe.
