fourescent...flickering like the ghost tongue
like winter
like a ridge
of darkness blocking lights of shore
the rise and swell
like death at your door

wake eletric
wake dread
wake alive
light like water
creeping

stare into the hours
tree trunks
familiar

but in dreams
no further away
then a broken bone
healed stitching
the shadows lurked
hunchbacked
and long lean limber
limbed
like a javelin of speed
all jawline and chest
feet fleeting silent on
the dew of the leaves

dream to dream
like station to station
wake like grave fresh
salutation
crushed petals
false smiles like fluff

and the greasy prints of
lawns
dare you not pull onto
keep the drive wheels
sedan mass on the
glistening asphalt
the moss soft brickwork
the beat of mechanical
arms sweeping
the glass chest
the green tint treasure
of a downed pleasure
ship
the one way trip
beneath the deck
lid flinging spray
in the devils lights
cat eyes gleaming

away

cease
desist
and those
we cant
resist

...
