near life (experience)

you're deep in shit

code warrior

in a house in a house in a house

 

drenched with blood

dried

powdered with galaxies

 

when will you

stir

blind man?

 

when will you

chew cigarette hills

choke on bison up to their dewlaps in honey?

 

or smell daylight

bookcases of it

ready for fingering

 

can you hear the automobiles

pass in the rain?

once you were carried in one

 

something warm like a woman

sat next to you

spoke mother words

 

deep in the dark

they curve in your brain

you remember

 

angels and crows crowd hills

and midges circle

it's late afternoon

 

you touch lichen

eat snow

but you thirst

 

for more than the sun

you're deep in grace

code warrior

 

blind man

empty balloon

automaton
