An Indefinite Wasteland
A couple of saints got stranded between March and April. The bookstores of yesteryear with cautiously yawning windows slowly get lost in the cold. A nameless dyslexic sun never counts her sins, never laughs, never makes a mistake. Above Ground It takes an afternoon for a sunray to embrace a garter snake. Semibirds restlessly grow water on vacation in the eye-resistant towers. All the planets are curious, no doubt, but afraid to watch. Yeah But It’s a pleasure to sell Lemurian tree stumps on the Pacific shores (free delivery in a week, but you have to pay cash up front). Footprints between the clouds never reveal, never conceal.
