tuft of water in middle/of air I’m holding/

             you too close now be alive/

                              with orange/ with street lamps

and reversed/tarot cards constant failing/

      falling/ how language/ what

                                          metaphor how /failure what

            feels nothing to be/ alone and lonely/

                  What feels nothing/ to be lonely

and alone/restate/restate again

            until the fevers listen /I want

      to talk in/loud whispers/I want

                   to sing to the morning tea/

Come inside/come

                        inside/pray to pray

      tell the whole/in the pocket

                        is leaking pennies/and someone is/

following/me home/smoke drift snow

            plows scrape/dry streets/hear

      themselves talk/ karaoke of metal

 and asphalt/human condition of/

secret/shhhhh/no

      the tiredness/doesn’t go away/

                  dissipation into/watching

the moon wane through the window/

with binoculars who needs/glasses/a pickpocket

                        in the Paris subway pierced/ eyes not brows/

 Divination is bullshit/

                                          until it isn’t//

I love you, goodnight.
