An umbrella being dragged at the day's end.
A seagull churns its wings,
avoiding sunlight,
...
This stately home- I never see people there
but there's corn on the door most of the year.
An old lonely look to it
...
His night shadow moves slowly
& causes some more destruction
as he lights another johnny player,
making god go further in silence.
...
All the townspeople disappeared
except for a man with very rotten teeth.
Fetal positioned on his manifesto,
he can proofread in his sleep.
...
In paintings,
women in white dresses promenade,
picnic, recline on couches, converse
over tea, and sew in sunny parlors.
...
It was a man who disappeared and came back again;
somewhere in a dream, blinded by obscurity.
A man who walked in, sat down, throwing his coat
to the ground as the elves shook below the seat cushions.
...
Somebody died shamefully and left me all their money.
And so it was, I tried to live just like them
Only to die just as wrecklessly.
I was a ghost for Halloween
...
A hymn trapped in the wind
after countless Sunday morning mantra,
heckling me until losing a piece of soul.
My unpurged confession appearing finally in epitaph.
...
I was going to school at U of A
and all the classrooms were closed,
the libraries closed.
All the thoughts in books shut-out.
...
