always October (2005)

in the wave front that's a spiral arm of this

corporate

citizen's watch

in the ellipse of the ellipse of its galactic

orbit

far out far out far out

on this solar

citizen's

watch

which next time

it comes around

won't

be

travelling west in Marim County 2005 where

gods cheer the twilight

and gesture

(benevolent)

at strenuous Celts who arm wrestle

their spirals

winding me up winding me

and all in a fall towards night they cry

long lonesome cowboy calls

their coyotes how how howling

up to their necks in spit

they slide towards October

2005

time and again and again

don't you think they've had enough of it

got enough of it

those sole sole soldiers frequenting the skies

out on a limb in October

with all those cries all that cries wolves

and their crimes and their lackadaisacal

attitudes

towards men and meat and me and the opportune

skies
