A Lonely Night
A lonely night
Staring in the wall
Of eternity
A phone call
A glance
A second chance
Is out of sight
But not groovy
In the scenes
Of a movie
Blanked out
Black sleep
Rehearsal
For death
(a calm, breathless coffin)
a porch swings
a window blares
heat
sweat sires unreason
and a season of visions
dripping colors
Absinthe abstained
Schizophrenia unchained
(birds fly teeth grit)
a cool song plays on
revelation in a second
a dove flies echoes
