three nights
   three times
         three
   and then
it’s up
to me
they
don’t say anything
they
aren’t listening
   but 
one
shifted
and
turned in the night
i woke 
with a
start
   asked ‘is everything allright?’
   before i chance remembered
before i
gave to flight
   i tried
now   i no more read it
than
lived it
      that’s just the facts
the fuse
was dipped
then
lit
   it glowed a good long time
      in low light
the
higher the hang
the
more dead   the ore
and
that leads directly 
   back to the corpse
have no
doubt that the logic is sound
the sun
comes up
just as
surely as it goes down
now   if
you’d come in the summertime
when
there’s more accommodating ground
when
the sight doesn’t much bother 
    with the sound
and the
hills hold fate
in the
meaning of song
   they know how to sing
how to
sing along
   alone
and
undone
that’s
english
where
you feign death
the
pressure works
from
either end
to your
middle
     muddled
big
pressure
waits
for words
understands
what is heard
friendly
chinese
two
hours 
or
three
do not
use
   this time
to
explain
      use the time
to
reclaim the remains
   introspection
is your
name
that
water was cold enough
and the
bottle filled right on up
but   i bow out
hold
back
   held down
         it is no worry of mine
on a
black horse
   for hope
and
through the kind of rain
that
only wants to be
   snow
it weeps
  then it moans
you know it’s time 
      for you to go
