the cargo boat, ceylon, mozambique, the ocean's prisons.time's conch outstares,
involves
once again the featureless filament of the wooden minute
clock hands unheave the lair
(these stranded sailors laugh for the strangest reasons)
at the third floor window he leans on the balcony
hermetic becomes his rage. he only whistles never speaks.
a librarian in a city that does not exist. catalogues doze.
the pruned heart's oppressiveness premonitions no reconstitution only there is the
'mangled bicycle, the lizard's cold & crisscrossed belly'
deceptive when you write & then post. first, second last & third last lines are one line but here it cuts. will try to remember this from now on.
