“golf club”

He’s sitting in the backseat now
+ I wrapped the cut on his hand.
He can stay as long as he wants
The building spilled out of itself like boiled fat,
spreading its mess on the ridge of the golf green;
crashed arbor waves melt off of the levees
chain linked seas are stapled to fields, 
+ the mouths of the hills are forced open w/ fence posts
as kidnapped stones catch burns from cigars.

Park in the gravel, take the back path to the workers door,
paneled walls dappled w/ dots of sloshed beer foam
hunting lodge wallpaper, dust in the cups of trophies
+ front door's a padded jaw pulled from the asylum.

You rush to swab rainwater off of furled decksets
+ sweep 'round the ribs of the felt eraser carpets,
but you know the front door window will fill up w/ faces
before you've even taken chairs down from stained tables.

The punch drunk outmates are trying to break back in
+ they'll drag their clubs like corpses + fill the floor w/ chlorophyll,
grab tables by the waist + dig ruts in the patio, 
familiar song of screeching legs routinely sung off-key.

Feast @ the edge of the emerald ocean thoroughly traversed, 
they stretch across the tables to clap @ sunburnt shoulders, 
+ their sailors knot knuckles will clutch steins like crosses
as hot sauce slicked fingers coat waitresses in stains.
