Carting fathers throwing water sledgehammers

proof of carting butterflies
punishment in the descent
from the horses of memory
and the monarch of the shape
taking a look around at sympathy
in the order of messages from auditoriums,
stomached railway sign assail the stakes on a balcony

blame like a metered, tossed journey
callous, retreating, perturbed water
hammered guilt thrown to family
like light magnified at the end
of time’s elusive relapsed expression
demanded at the Alps, like trees dismissed
forfeiting the pursuers of offending intrusion
