before sunrise I pass your stop
you might be asleep
you often I suppose are
the sky is thick purple
standing room only
I pass through hills of snow
which the sun makes gold
I must tell you
about these weather conditions
even now when the snow
has melted, leaving
bald trees in their red injury
and brown thickets and grass
I wonder
what season you dreamed? and
are you standing by the toaster now? and
is there a sweater very soft at your wrists?

horny old canal
01:30

what thoughts i have of you tonight
said the nettles on the canal bank
what thoughts i have of you tonight
said the otherside rusting bije
the pouring, slowly pouring, water
turning black where it hits the canal
is longing: it never stops pouring
over to meet itself, can never meet itself
the old mill shivers under dust
and lichen, street lamps cast pools
of pale light that cannot meet,
and bricks weather like a sigh
there are steps that go down into
the canal: who will take them, honey,
you? here, the church with no windows
looks at the water with its eyes shut
