Three poems by Rob Plath.
stabbing at ghosts
today i want to
take this knife
& nick the universe
in the heart
but its heart is
made of nothingness
so i sit here
w/my pain
& unused blade
take yr best swing, motherfuckers
a new troop
of demons arrived
dispatched by
the fucking universe
i guess it thinks
i have more fight
left in me
but if they ever
autopsied my angel
they'd see nothing
just burnt crumbs
but the demons
new & old
do not care
they keep lashing
w/their terrible tails
at a few black morsels
perhaps the strength
i possess is that
there's not much
left to damage
TEAR IT OUT
the
human
skull
on
the
shelf
is
beautiful
b/c
it
contains
no
brain
