frozen dart mummies when up
skipped thirst just back behind foam -
their voice thawed equal to the shirt
in the back of your dresser, i.e., money
in exchange for lamentations, they see
these are the days when even the sky
hides acorns, they'll pour a fortune into
your nest and say "Here’s your silence..."
great white eye, the thieves' day, your, oh,
sight, comes with a special framed future brim-
ming with my disease, the perfect goes & with
the pumice comes the heart, your shoes will
bring snow into their deepest catacombs, when
the ice is severed we'll all come up ashes, or,
when the sand breaks alphabets will be pups out
your belly, somewhere under needle's mirror & step
there's the true moral of Poe's Tell-Tale Heart:
MONEY IN THE WALLS, scarabs boiling with gold
nuggets, scarabs already bliss, the rose you held soon
begins to bloom in the Squashed Sphinx's shoulder
it would rather live there than in a ravine of hands too
parched to float, furrow your cloud-blind heart for a
nest, come to know my gardens empty of paint (my
every other garden? - my every other garden is a set
of curtains, they lie lovely between scarabs now of
solid gold), soft cold winter, wake among beetles in
the cauldron stunned that I've spelled you with multiple
feet while the beetles have ten toes & mortgage payments
you'll all be milling about in a glass of silver sand, which
one of you said hands undivided will skip silence? know
only the inches are hanging the miles, the sky (see line
six) is gathering baskets of hours, perhaps you'd prefer
this? you can read between the lines or fill them in with,
say, when the sand breaks alphabets will be pups out
your belly, you could, I suppose, even stare with your
great white eye at, boundless, bare, the lone & level
sands stretching far away, a glass of silver instead of
a rose clutched in your mitts, etched with a needle's
mirror & step, its step stops just short before the foam
