when the conditional self
seeks to awaken
you you say
it will probably
echo an
improbable truth
into my mouth
confusing
uvula for light
a crow on the heap
of slack-skin speech
and for a moment
mending everything
I will hear
its little
shadow making
little shadow sounds
until that moment when
the trees are closed forever
and the streets are closed forever
and it begins laughing
at the long
sad face
of my universe
as it starts out
in search
of something to eat
