The sound of train tracks cooling is a baking sheet in the oven clang
These are house noises - the world
is a house making noises - the cooling
is the world making house
The pie was delicious
at least everyone said so
why is it so hard to believe those sorts of statements
conditioning - because - praise is ego and ego is inflatable
And no one can float on it alone
The oven cools it has a stone in its belly and the stone is blackened
On the first hold the collar close to your neck night the world sighed deeply and said that the years are getting harder to come back from
It closed up itself
curtains and all the doors
were resealed this autumn the windows leak still but...
Picture a train track popping - the back
of it breaking and curling upwards into the dark sky
It shatters into ravens and they
shatter into a rain of snow hard as glass
glinting like fresh asphalt
