the rain
so many times the rain
falls wherever it wants to go
i
watch the world drip
i watch the lights turn into floods
this sound
lulls me into sleep
or fascination
the sky
slips down drop by drop
sliding down fingertips
and saturating hair
i
walked into the rain
because i liked the way it fell.

with a fishing pole
you tried to bring the stars
closer
even i
watching the stars die
wanted to touch something
she rose in the east
departed in the west
but when she laughs we fear silence

come home...
the sky has coughed enough
sunset to bleed
you
could watch the sun rise
could watch the sun fall
the colours are nice from far away
just as long as nothing burns
come home...
i've coughed enough to bleed
a sunset

my victrola
i left it
barren
in her wake
so Stasis arrived
to consume everything
that my fingers
could no longer hold
she smiled once and said
you can bury me this way
my victrola
you've already
spit out my fingers
just to teach me the lesson
of letting go.

bring your water
upon a plate
upon a window pane
otherwise this sonata
will have no surface to slide
no place to divide itself
into fingers and keys

a face like leather
he propped it upon a stilt
and tried to make it walk
tried to make it talk
dribbling out the universe
he thought he had in stock
a pen in the ink
an inverse chalk
make him talk
with those stilted fingers
before he topples.
nonsense
