Bad Imitation
Broken chords
not from winding but
from unwinding.
The guitar on the bed
the glass under the bed
with the shoes.
One is locked inside the wall
the other in the chest
the third one in the coffin.
I can’t take it anymore, he said.
He brought his finger to his eyes
to mimic Oedipus’ movement
not the last one
the one before last.
