SAM SAVAGE morning-glories

A bent street sign the insane man’s eyes
It could be the site for something a bare hill
Just beyond the prison wall a wall of trees
Dancing to sounds from the Big Band Era a pair of midgets
Out of the fog’s whiteness silence
Unslept, the cool breeze on my eyelids
Alone in a house with children the slowly falling dusk
Along the roadside
torn-up paper in the grass
is morning-glories

A small window filled with seasounds it lightens
:
:
Everyone sleeping late
A white goat
bleats incessantly
:
:
Rain at night
kept out by the dusty
smell of the screens
:
:
Not anything, really
drifting clouds
:
:
Waves
and over the waves
again waves
:
:
A screen door full of holes a breaking wave
:
:
Evening down a road where a car has gone
:
:
Rain on a sharp field of stones
:
:
Going on after waving to someone there’s my back
:
:
With a raincoat and umbrella I go to hear someone sing
:
:
Straight road, tall pines: a stray dog, taking it
:
:
Wakened by someone scratching at the window it’s the rain again
:
:
Hot night a yellow-toothed moon gnaws at the screens
:
:
Turning on the light I become someone alone in the house
:
:
Sleepless the sound of my eyelashes on the pillow
:
:
Bus station toilet the backs of the men look like weeping
:
:
:
the sound you hear
like lapsing handles
:
or a vast propeller
turning in a church
:
is lichen moving
in waves over rocks
