Night Shift
one day, where a canvas bag marked with mud collapsed on itself, farms, machines, to noticed the metal was thread string like thicker intervals of silence, and in the bag, the one life, feet, a top of the world, washers and nails, I, identical opposites, posits canvas as a bag, one with, at the bottom, a second bag, for me to have left me, to return a toe at least, I took them with me down field corridors, I not I, the floor, grass, a singing into confetti, the air, to be in such a condition, where the vents in the sky are someone I knew only in me, as physical vision but spiritual non-connection, and there drove the open streets of recognize into mission, purpose and grain, visiting fog, the grass of the bed, up and sigh, leaves a breeze where cannot but begins, for the mountains a long dead wall, alone stepped shadow, headlights creep all, grass of branches out tiny hysterical I, to light, star, you weak are, to bright disappears, a name project 'round the moon
I held long the metal of motion, sitting on the trailer in the sun, just as I am a pupil, it did not rain, the smell of celery and turpentine, my father drove the air through vents, open windows, truck lodged itself my one yellow blinked cross-street, in transitory months I am fixed in time, memory, the autumn come the silky salty eating, there were plastic, insects, seeds, tiny rotten, hit in the lips with dirt and breeze, minutes, I am east, clipped as the moon I saw had shades of sun changing it, up so long, past tips, tips tiny leaves the door until silence, and somewhere past, crowded from ease of sleep, and in dreams to look but look away, he called me from the open window, head, face, "you, shadow, you!" a photograph, me, inside, reflected on tall windows held in the hand, the home is by one
a flashlight at dawn, steel ribs, preparing to leave, to cool the high moon, there are always shadows, these are not the same shadows as those of noon, the day far off, from puddles, mud, the dogs tossing wet kittens, the atmosphere bends orange dawn, the light seen is not yet real, a stop in air, in previous life I know, a noise aesthete, this life here, one thin turn relaxed in dream, I must new noise, city by default, dormant, long dead, in a sense, to find the large root, and on me are many, the pinpoint holes of reality which serve only as artifacts, a stranger walking the street, O bag bulbous metal, my ears, attach the drums to the veins, streets, trees I left behind, in the room remembered canvas, upright with soft, at times was you, though infinite, for I to through, as dirt siphoned, not chance the pebble remains, I were, I you, I, I floor, pluck, I air, window, talking, I did, colored lights blared no just, warm night vents, semen pink orange streets, branches, breeze, as sun rise, clouds a dead relaxing wall, hearing dogs growl, house windows, and violet warm decibels
you stepped up the headlights across the country creep, I do not want this city, discord, "I can't tell if he's created something new, or if he just doesn't know what he's doing," concrete, sun smeared, vision in green parks, in tips of architecture, in the feel, music or silence, all sound, the texture of strings, sinew, and shuddering nervously, I, on the other hand, but I use both hands, much as city windows become their own lights, to bright eyes, into, 'round the sun, a flashlight at noon is an eye in an empty room, a rotating mind (the best movie in town is the one playing behind your own eyelids) projected on wall, eye, so the lonesome white stare of day, no, artist
cold, loading paint onto sound onto dirt onto light, into being, of itself life, lights for smeared, alternate, and stood in the rain in the night, the breaks silky like in smoke, there like plastic, bags of clothes, I am on the move, though motionless, stare at a face after a sky, I sliver but it, it had depth, I dream, yellow at first, but saw shades changing it, lying gray, past it I stared, gap from gap, clouds, hair, the moon was full of I, away, and my, whose lights, the photograph sudden, from white fluoresce, beyond blue, the three-quarter moon, "where is my bed" I asked, he had a flashlight in the downpour, we waited in the van, listening, she said she loved him, I've never heard it so genuine, shining within the tent, canvas, to think of silver truck trailers, of states, to lights, to go home, to sleep, the nights under fields are warm, no lights, there are no shadows, on eyelids cloud blue sun, golden-orange
