The Box
sleeping out that night / the wet sand matted / like voices of marginalia / the sky
impossibly wide / clear as an unwedded thought / without limits / a furious
pitch / broken like a crows neck / with memories of incontrovertible relations / the
curveball / the size of the moon / the waking light of constancy / the undressing
of loss
of stars / the blank stare of their insoluble script / harbingers of confusion / not
with a dark
the types to fall pitiably before / not the type to trust / secret / you go down in
history / as a wet young cur / pious to the last / listening to the sucking sound
unlatch
of seaweed in the shallows / you open up / an unforgivable purpose / as the insects
crawl out of the sand / the cold air / kissing your dimpled thighs / it was one of
too desperate
those things / when the melody is too strong / you can't keep from listening /
unhinged
stretching out / the sky welded to the horizon / pristine / perfect / complete

first he needs a name / if he only knew how to sell himself / the declination of art /
asphalt
rolls so gracefully / like rain water / pouring through scattered debris / broken twigs /
cement
up between the tires of parked cars and the edge of the curb / into gutter / the ring
