Take dictation

This reading thirst, this needy curse, I have overworked

Until the burgeoning calendar’s golden bursts

Were dark as the undetermined, hearse hued, before my hooded eyes

Which light refuse.

The sound of static is the pleased cat hiss of life’s lighted fuse

As its chewing flame eats a tunnel through tallow unto charcoal.

A dimmed channel’s blue glow poses status quo proposals.

I would swim the channel like an Argo. My body damming it

Though the journey damages I send me where stars go;

Wreathe my mind in shards of gold,

Read my mind.

She breathed

My rind bumped like fleeing geese.
