White English |
Tongue gone dumb |
From disuse at some |
Numb young sea-scum's post |
Bottle after bottle after bottle out sink |
Cold filled to the cork with uncrackable code |
So good through the years the knots went |
That its alphabet was even forgotten |
Me? |
I’m head vessel for a fleet of tears |
Out on my old man’s bones parole |
Under sail only for a hole to hell to fill |
With handfuls and handfuls of loose-earned dust |
Or plug up level really with anything other than us |
And then to toss a dusty rug over-- |
Lost (lost lost) in translation. |
Lost |
To a kingdom of light I wish tonight to fall witness |
But victim to a spite it might incite sickness |
I sit in and pretend and through it write hymns: |
Tight-limbed in white English as my one and trite business |
Light as a nice fat rice sack boiled in water |
Out farther than the house of my father |
Waiting in the sitting room of yet another doctor |
I taste what little bitter roots this winter has to offer and |
Without a son or daughter to shoulder the debt |
Alone with the past and prone to regret |
Dreamt my death by a knife on a path in Burnet |
But under the bedspread, I’m younger than dead yet |
Lost in translation. |
Lost |
Even an opal heart hopes all night |
In the bright, biting strobe lights |
And bitter cold, as the living set up |
To a long white joke told through sun up |
‘til the bones and bodies spun around them fold |
Hopes all night through the old lone fight |
And the bright vast cold, but there’s no punch-line |
By this told whack joke for all one’s life is surrounded |
‘til the black hole and bodies spun around it fold |
