1994

You’ll be able to combine virtually something
With alcohol, sugar & lemon, department &

Honey, cream & the cat that acquired it, sweat & the breath
Autonomic, the lungs as sponges, the flowers

That accompany the lifeless & can not assist
However push again up by the phantom soil to

Wild the floor once more in time—gentle, & what it does
To us
—an excessive amount of & not sufficient, love, you

Can miss virtually something with alcohol, yard
Solace & any hour the early morning has

On provide, my favourite ghost & her favourite cliché
Of creating the entrance door swing slowly open by itself

At precisely the tempo my love would enter
A room if it had been alive & seen &

Invited. All apologies start
In condensation & finish within the sweep

Of a bar rag. On our knees we’ve got
The identical map of scars, the identical lit drive

To belong to an area conspiracy. None of us is
Well-known but. Solely a handful thus far haven’t made it

In any respect. What’s your poison, says the physique,
The darkened window, the godswell that strikes

By means of the room just like the boy who’s constructed
Wings out of open matchbooks & goals straight

For the solar. At night time you possibly can combine up
Nearly anybody with their shadow, make up

Nearly any cocktail of salt & slap & grain &
Give it a reputation, the one factor they received’t

Overlook, their shadow handed out flat
On the ground beneath them. Gentle, &

What it does to us. Everybody at all ages satisfied
The music this 12 months is theirs alone.
