I prefer to elongate the everlasting and
continue unabated with my mind so bright.
I bring a dark with me where a sun is lording.
and a moon as soft as last night.
I prefer the gruesome epiphany of going to work
if it satisfies the going to bed.
if it resembles a complete surrender
with an asterisk *.
i clump where the air is cool enough
to dislodge a prayer
from a Hope.


I prefer to sing without eyes.
