lyrics

Stray evening, set like a spade
in rich soil, anticipation in the line
remains unwritten, and lacking
perspective the table grows – .

now a finger of time, coughs out
a pendulum; the unit of stanzas, as resin
enrages the gears, is an unsettled absence
aloft in the bed of portraits. Look,

child, waiting for the salt in public:
remote leather has mastered
innumerable hollows, endangered cold
silver, a strategy still whole.

For like a branch beating bars,
contentment’s are virtuous dresses
transforming over sand still waves;
our trust over ribs rattled lean,
twin purple depths pitted like
brass against rags,
rubbed your logic like hammers –
swept honor’s origins out.

Pressing the button for the elevator,
naughty little mite, he musters up his strength,
waiting for the tick,

that rhythm-y clock of music not used to tell time,
a finger, hanging on the wall a key –

inhabited people, sitting under lock and
doorknob, fascinating problems with their heads.
