Machete Love

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

It seems I’ve been so much
Of a herd, herded to feed
Billions, a machete
Would be merciful.

It feels like I am
All of that, all the time,
I can’t go one, anymore,
Machete would be quick.

It reels as I am
Absurd, feeding the heard
Of ga-zillions, just an edge
Away from mercy.

It feels like I’ve been so much,
Bawling this and that, Time,
Anymore, I can’t con, an edge
Should be mercy-quick…

please give me a magnum 45 and a firing range to get the kinks out

but really the ideal of machete mercy is painfully astute on some afternoons where raping and pillaging and plundering seemed to have their stake in history.

I think I felt that herd
heard it in my head
headed to my temples
treaded on my spine.

An aspirin has an edge...
