in October too American paranoia interrupted by commercials

i love the fools love me

in Gun's Own Country a rusting sun

Autumn sticking pins in my foot

iced smile interstices lying between

be the hope you change

shards time takes rain to dry

(when? does? it? stop? this? rain?)

among the fallen one that is still green

under black flags a boy points his finger towards heaven

autumn leaves as it comes

above the wall of black suits swallows in an endless sky

lasting horse small panacea

women and children in the name of organized religion

if I don't change the world never will

Lascia ch'io pianga rain within the rain again

first cricket still discussing sunlight

between borders the hunger of stitched mouths

dead end the grip of miscalculated stars

dead silence the night grinds us between teeth

that which keeps me afloat a flageolet on a g-string

beneath the Perseids summer's last bbq

this bleeding a measure for time and birds hollow I don't echo the soil

platform of microphones the puppeteer's twitch

disarming the war orphan's giggles

"gone fishing" the sign on the confessional door

down a viscous stream | glass flowers bid me farewell

city clamor || somewhere a desert rose sprouts

cirss-crossing Abraham's sky metal despair

still gathering no moss the Rolling Stones
