"last one in the garden "
out w/stars in
unclear skies,
humans sent
hellos up for
aliens but
telephones
don't ring)
another un
poem night
spiders &
clothespegs
two a
m,october's
wet the
garden
green:
beneath
a comet
fetched
across
the sky,
a couple
argue(her
shoes in
her hands;
she has had enough/
he has had enough//
booze pulls echoes
along our streets &
i am over,
says the night.
i am over,says
sounds of cats
fucking

hydrangea
"children in the desert wait for bombs "
& you thought there'd be an end to such
confusions
said prayers w/your hands
laid your heart to sleep like a dog at her
feet
& you swore you would be a tree beside
the waterfall
not the waterfall itself
& you cursed your own eyes to be still
yet
they follow her as she moves through the bar
your own eyes,
judas of
thought
pilate of
emotion/
she's a jug of
fire coloured milk(
knots in water tighten/houdini
had it all wrong:
hold yr breath
and wait for her as
children in the desert
wait for
bombs
"crazy people "
psychotic means
you have real faith
that two and two
are 5//
neurotic means
you know they
equal four but
truly
hate the fact
