Hiding Your Eyes From Your Eyelids

raiment \RAY-ment\, noun:
Clothing in general; garments.

[Origin: 1350–1400; ME rayment, aph. var. of arrayment. See ARRAY, -MENT ]

Fingers splayed like fish bones against the sun,
Catching in the throat,

Cutting the image bloody from your sorry sockets.
A raiment of bones and feathers

Rattling in the breath of their own beastly abandon.
Buried and rotten frames

Animating the worm-tunnel dance in the dirt
Bound betwixt

Their frigid vectors. Alone in the silent soil, feasting
On Newton's first apple,

A worm is a wyrm is a warning shot; a hasty scrawl on the inside
Of a door you can't pop.
