Literature Text

I see in one grain,
scared of silver

snakes swimming in the milk;

(save all my love
for Denver

and the rot of leaving earth
in slow, ascending footsteps)

I see in one cool window:
the ghouls and goblins rushing
rushing rushing

rushing to nowhere-
to a moon already plucked
of its best ambitions

to a pooling of the hate
in gravity wells
just beyond the layers of waste

choking out the light.

And here we are, on ground marred
cinnamon and clove

like burnt briar dogs, spitting orange
rattling our teeth for blood;

whispering old venom
in tired shades.

Here we are.
I like
