The interstitial space of existence
Drumming up support again-
Finally I catch the glint in your eye!...

They vie out in dim farm-fields,
the smoke and the stars.
Not for touch, blood, or gold;
just a hundred seconds more.

I am awake so I must decide.

it’s unfair,
she said,
we both know that.  
And what responsibility isn’t
I had said.
I yawn and drive past the dead deer on Millersport Highway.
Great.
It’s not her.
It’s me.

Stopped;
but the day is never that,
is it....

Inhabitants are living deep down inside the earth
Interstitial creatures following their birth
Waiting, watching deep inside they hide
In the darkness never seeing simply they abide
Freezing cold and blistering heat they flourish like the trees
But who can tell they’re even there in the land that never sees
Without a nation, without a light
Abiding in the land of night
If I hadn’t told you now, you’d probably not know
Most of life upon this earth is living down below...

A hoot at midnight 
goes challenging the deaf.
You strip to bones.

The dawn persists:
Will the sun on the sea
kill the dreams ?

Do you see the gap 
between the clouds ?
I am going to make a heap of
all the interstitial escapes.

Flesheaters were scrawling on
the cheeks. A revolution of
wheels has failed.

A baby dies in womb
without  A leap into future.
The father carries the burden
of chimneys.

A godless moon laughs 
at the stupid earth,
which was talking about stars.
