Interrogated being__ By Merritt Waldon


Interrogated thoughts pop out

Becoming pop noise like

Vending and slot machines

Interrogated feelings flood

Out through pores hungry

For comfort jettisoned in a sea

If rage

Interrogated longings

Worship the idol of her eyes

Starry and penetrating

To the core

Of this interrogated being
