extra ribbed

Cinderman is a winged
thorn-man
his extra rib
snug in his tight right fist
like some gauche cello in some poem
(or else the very poem)


face more like
an artist’s promise
to make it final
tomorrow as of today
there’s neither ochre enough
nor red

Cinderman being
nevertheless a winged
extra ribbed thorn-man
