the night cares
and we are it's batteries
it licks us like a daring child
and the night avian raptors are tufted
and their prey is energized
and the chase/escape scenario is a burly-hurly
flight night
and the trees push around the winds
and breath is the current of life
and the furnaces tick down
and an unreal peeling
of the church human bells
(calling the hour or the faithful to prayer)
aids my constructive dreaming bleed
chimney awoke
the night licks me
like a daring child licking a battery
but caring also
like a cat removing the amniotic sac
from it's newborn
