Dina and Dan Do Not Love Each Other Anymore

Host of disease, crack of knuckle
when finger extends out not in,
extends a region wide state, country, world,
this is you, a place made of mane, cattle,
salamander, two shakes  this is your life
and two shakes   this is whiskey shakes   you are branded
and we are morning into morning this is morning,
beard of marker and beard of bristle,
we have beards and two shakes, we're done for,
something to hold, something for longer.

When you left as virus you returned as heel,
I begged you to stop but you listen, convex.
