light bringer 

i dream of rivers reversing

of forests burning

of a cement swamp no

more birds 

away birds! away birds!

this is no home for you

the towers are death 

i cry sometimes when

i look at the moon her

face a silent scream

stretching over the lake

you said that was

beautiful

-really? 

i came looking for a home

i found a place to stay

the sound of the train horn

makes me dream of

heaven 

i spoke to you last night

your breath was a burst

of gold dust glittering

blinding burning my eyes

i laughed my breath was

bile

spilling on my toes 

we talked about the void

our legs dangled

the moon was lost i looked

for your hand

your arms were crossed 

on my way home (just a place to stay)

a sparrow fell, bewildered

tiny spasms it died

i looked up the moon

was god’s eye i couldn’t hide
