The beak's vessel plunders
the death of Queen Anne's
twisted, soft scent often. Convenience stores
serve war in boxes.
A red giant's dimming
wit, a devil in your balloon. The old governors burn their clothes
at four,
four flags,
free, fly
into home
where the birds die.
My half-century railroads heard the forest is green
when the trees are brown and burning
and the foliage is just a dream
from the quick,
the blind,
and the ***** that can't dance with the sun like the others.
Water running at the end
of predestination of an unborn's underbelly.
Say out to the head board
begging for attention
--rather be a bridge
worn and bruised, understood and here. The night is here also,
not alone, but no words shared. I rather wait for the walker
who can't sleep
to stare at water underneath
and feel warm from its reflection
--and can't sleep the entire night.
