ASYMETRICAL OBJECTS


ASYMETRICAL OBJECTS

a fractured porcelain moon
glimmering dully on an asphalt sky

the television's plaintive whine
rising up to greet the arterial dawn

a body next to a body next to a fall—

the horizon and its dark opposite
crushing the day like a bloodied jaw

nine arms after nine hours serving
a solitary twilight, drawn into a

presumptive embrace, a sleeping draught,
water carrying itself to rest, to gurgle

away another night.
