out of synch

          walk the wander     silly boy     floodgates let loose

the warmth we shared as water fled     between gabled storms      that

burn the world’s roots     inside-out     you and me      in pursuit

through migrant shade

          with a magic telescope spy on thanatos     where’s the

sanity in calculating time     now scribble a face     now the

wrong kind of nose     how we hoped to see ourselves in yesterday’s

borrowed light     a scene written to completion     when

it became night     when we became spirits in the rain

counting purple shells.

          what’s the point in calculating time     it struggles underfoot

with the hint of dry-rust     hangs on our ink-stained

palms      a cinnamon scent of sand     the end result

of sublimation     what about     or about     or discover parables

in coins     listen with sharp ears to a foreign orchestra in

preparation of pre-hibernate myths
