Bell Jar

A bell jar encloses a perfect idea
An endless beach of untouched sand
A dog with a pitchfork and a flock of carrion birds wait outside
A humanless terrarium.

Oh, to get close

The boy crouches,
the birds crouch
He can find no approved allies
It will become a grave of his desires

Closed doors
No peace

But the sand.
The sand.

Run instead for the dangerous currents,
Jump into the sea.

The moon reflects against the glass
I have been sifted and I will not be saved.
