you sleep

you sleep for clay

cut your bloom at your ankles

for an undercover life of clothing

dozing uneasily in another city

maybe the last one

no directions from the yellow stones

on the windowsill

for the fading lessons

even the elevated spectacles

all sick of the dark

steering the ear

to the trampled necklace

the long stem

saddest line pointing out the sky

to its roots

the pasture's singing shatters

agonies and celebrations in the distance

something huge hidden half~open

wakening crying cracked and dreaming

whispers in the depth of the noise

the crushed hybrid

the prism of winter

the masses the concrete

the hours of a lighthouse

insist you understand your brightness

being destroyed on the roads

the sword in the rose

the question knocking at the

ghost
