Broken Backs

I broke my back
Back back back
Taking a wheelbarrow to
Move memories 
Forward 


I broke my back 
Back back back
An act that i enact 
In a Frida Kahlo  painting 

Today my back flies with
The bats
And Rats
Cozy up to gnaw
On nerve endings 

I hear 39 taps
On the dark warm window pane
Dancing taps
Screaming in a park
Where my shoelaces 
Spin out of control.
