we are dewdrop eyes,
hearts born from a lone wolf’s howl,
hands composed of dust
waiting to return
to the Hand that gathers dust-
the fishin's been good

to the Hand that gathers dust-
the fishin's been good
gather the waiting
hours into a box of years
eat one at a time

then lick your fingers
until the box is empty
such delicious years

fingers forget years
but are useful in counting
the hours to dawn

but are useful in counting
the hours to dawn
no use in counting
each missed sunrise through the years
today is enough

and each waking day
between sunrise and sunset
makes the difference

waking up: a cinch
these days it’s at 4 a.m.
sunrise is my noon

sunrise is bedtime
better to dream of birdsong

better to dream of birdsong
than sirens and shrieks
birdsong dreams whisper
the secret of the sunrise
to still sleeping eyes

whispered secret

whispered secret
poured in old Hamlet's ear--
dreams put to sleep
dreams still come in death
young Hamlet knows this too well
the dead are restless

pretzeled boulevards, her hips

is she only prey
a single-serve pretzel bag
consumed in one day
