Relying On the Next Reader's Translation

off the top of my head
i begin to notice some 
things
and some previous 
times
and some abandoned 
places
the odd mixture of dirt and snow
and how it appeals to the naked eye
and then
 naked skin frightened by warm autumn nights
and then
 autumn nights that can no longer stretch out
into my long suffering
winters
previous times where i could lay perpendicular to the sun
and it rises
tranquil 
watching these diamonds and pearls glisten
abandonment glistened
hearing these treasures listen
and the universe listened, 
while i stay here
ranting 
on and on and on and on..
