Blood orange

 they scurried out of his hands

he raised his hands to motion them

as an uprising

he still speaks out of orifices

besides his mouth

and his reactive comments

are of gaseous sentiment

than intellectual notion

yet they scurried out of his hands

they were happy to

they were just the same

as any of his comments or actions

they were the mere manifestation

of all his toxic rhetoric

they gnawed on the ropes

binding hope with justice

their tiny claws left scars

on the marble columns

of all the places that 

should be thought of as sacred

and their relentless waves

left the streets littered 

with his legacy of deceit

for as plagues go

he knows how to spread them

all too well
