that window shattered itself
on top of a lake
right between the whens
when we were looking
in a moment when we weren’t
it’s all sound experiments
taped for a friends
on tape machines
on higher floors
on the right frequencies
except it’s all digital now
when we weren’t looking
charging obsolescence
lightning in a greenhouse
pity this pissy monster
preserve this plasma state
practical effects
and snow globes
keep it contained
press’d between the pages of glass
I don’t want those things
to hurt me anymore
humidity aches
summer scrapes
fuck your “pain of homecoming”
this home has strange lights
and painty giggles
the concept of polka dots
at the bottom of a lake
in a moment when we weren’t
but that’s just sounds
in every moment we were friends
surface noise on all the surfaces
ocean in a bottle
rushing obsidian
preserve this pissy monster
pretty this plasma state
practical lightning
pupillary distance
eyeglass tiger in a cage
this home has strange lights
and nourishing leaves and hours
keep it contained and pressed between
moments when we weren't
written on drumheads
and held together by guitar-strings
in every moment we were friends
surface noise on all the surfaces
I’m less worried when you’re around
I’ve more time to think and speak
slipping down hallways
looking at the science slides
contemplating broken glass
building perfect cabinets
of endless conversation
display cases for bonfires
aching feeling coming in
breathing in the blue feeling
deeply autumnal
breathing in the blue feeling
everybody can come home now

call me wind farmer
buffalo sleepwalker
antilibrarian
crescendo moon
low-key appalachian code-switching
(I) go out walking after midnight
down the Kármán vortex street
sleeping on the ground, all the
stones and columns surround
wind around
no fixed address
the book was scarier than the film
the ghost turns on the TV
most nights
serpentine rivers wind by
is it slightly haunted?
cat-corners, engineering problems
beasts of the night
catamount to nothing
leaning, leaning
the call and the response
the stillness mounting
this night has a power of suggestion
it’s a hallway, it’s a way out
it’s compelling
the suburb’s edge, becoming city
nightfall’s acceleration under trees
factories into forests
footsteps into empty rooms
(heartbeat’s acceleration under the dark)
come back, come back
blurry bookhouse boys
tend fires in the fire museum
the dramatic structure of noise
a camel passing through a prism
it isn’t happening again
