Poems
Jan 2015
big long nap
when the sun winks, and
you shut the door
tell the kids to come inside
slithering serpents, a fantastic show
flicker in the twilit sky
like the tongues of Hell
and
everything surges and fries
in the house, for a moment
like a haunted hospital
like in the movies
when the power's out, and in the road
passerby light their candelabras.
when the engines quit their mechanizations;
when the poles settle down for the
big
long
nap;
and the smallest calculated bearings
of your pocket compasses go awry
from that great fire on the sun
and 100 years is lost in 8 minutes.
you are what you left yourself ready for.
