another day

The morning wraps itself around the trees

like tears in a man’s eyes

Present, but not quite.


A siren from a distant ship festers

like the wail of a heartbreak

rarefied, oneiric.


Moist earth, the sun’s ass wipe

Sunlight smeared artistically

Angular, aromatic.


Shadows take birth, one by one

like wounded dogs, diffident

self-conscious and pathetic.


The day stretches its lazy morning stretch

like an incomplete death sentence

uncertain, yet unavoidable.

These words beat all the words out of me...

They are so perfect they seem as though they always existed...that you only discovered them.
