kept from the saddle by sleep and cider,
nestled in this cluttered room, this dimlit
hibernation station, wallow fallow in
the gathered gloom, the afternoon moon
this is the time for those who dream in daytime,
those who gather and hunt, those who like me
watch from windows, making shade from shadow,
form from substance, the things that dreams are made on.
spherical conical cubicles, glass
rubric creatures, wanton quantum climber
guttersnipes, elide chandelier longroom
crystalline, horse-long gazes, old rotters
frilled and crimped, clacking tutting ruddy rouged
snotters grope fey wan dull ruff pomander gals
guillotinable beaus prance too-polished
honey chestnut rink slick oblong cakewalk shute
snooped by crack silk crimped black witch dowager
madames as boozy, & gout-struck porcine slobs
burping wallow in the whorehouse stable slops
.
So, farewell to another afternoon,
Subsumed in swoon, in a pale pink fractal
falafel, catacomb syrup lair, actual
familiar blue room, pale pink womb, belly
blubber walls, well plush crow’s nest, full of shit
and sticks; Indian cuckoo spits, some maps,
Wedgewood tobacco juicer, ugly cuddly toy,
fond of you set,… Just going, going, gone.
