then burdened away

sack of shoes, sack of limbs
suck away on his bottles

the f*ck of his gunned,
grinned full of loose luck

phosphorously

you can, while you're sleeping
feel for an extra eyelid, put on
the goggles. it is vestry, that is
vestigial, the need to see
in water, in air, @
night all is green &
groaning with light
quiet bombs. the whistling
of far away, the
whistling for your dog
twitching in his dream.

evolution of the whale

the land made a song, but the sea sang it

you said the birds are bluer, even if they're mute

someone threw away a sink in the gurgled grass

the watch was invented so it could be taken off

water finds its own on the windshield, the radio's left on

you may rub those trees,
but won't swat me off.

i'd never urge you to jump.
let's just stumble from the stampede.

old saggy ears,
are you worn out by whispers?
