(An eye-mountain
of night light
Came flittering on like
bats, black
But bright between
the spaces)
See us scared static,
full of ample
Arguments worn like
ugly hats on
A sea of held heads
and used phrases
See us bite down like
vice shine like
Don't ever let me go
like dug heel
Refusal to separate head
from head-body
See us flail like not
stuck on failing
see us start small, see us end up
rich and tired, see us
go stale
go faster, go under, see us
riddled
with sink
holes
see us shrink and shrivel
see us vexed and pestered
see us vacant
hollowed out without
stilling
see us dig and digging, see
us harvest nothing
see us here without an offer
see us open
see us naked
and apparent, sharing
our affliction
like lotion
see us raise the curtain
see us give an eyeful
from the brights of the
mountain night
