Palmy

in the palmy redness
of these
veined up bastard hands
go sit and
get surrounded.
go quiet babies --
go to deep breathe,
have your rubber soles
push into the dirt
push free of the dirt.
when the hooks
gnash out
-  will grab at you
invite them through
get dragged along --
friendly babies.
so deaf, 
not to let the music save you.
deaf inside
of the ruddy
sweet-talk hands.
pet pet
down your backs
getting
your belly
filled. over full --
empty even.
to
crash and pistol
in the rib cage -- 
have not is
whining.
lying-in
from these mobbed
blood hands,
babies.
go to the lull
that is in
every ear . . .
so thick --
it stops
every us.
