Suns gone dim and
Sky has turned black
the planet has fallen into a burlap bag
of dances and vodka and lightbulbs
and stars dripping slowly from
a blue-black sponge stuck somewhere
up there.
I feel like dry sands blown
atop an aquifer. Skin split
in such an everywhere
eyes ponds beneath thin sheets of ice
insides
hungry fish. It takes so little music
to flood an evening
but all the poems
just sink down
below.
