All the nameless things in the night
Here is something to love sweetly uphill, at last
The dark houses have abandoned this kingdom of wrong turns
Only here and there, you will see clothes blowing on a line,
pinned by those who have forgotten to gather the witchcraft
bodies wear to greet each other
You crouch and watch the flickering shapes of families fill with wind
Through backyards the quietest beasts go
Such psalms of hunger
Doll tracks in the snow
where a lonely child has distorted images
Following the railroad tracks the trains have forgotten
A sort of crushed white stone glows as you walk on it
You want to please the night the way these dark leaves do
Whispering over themselves in the millions you hear
The desire for the night to become one endless thing
Not a being, but frustrated, it creases shadows until they disappear
Every time you look at your hand, its skin coating a pulsing web
Lies brightly, says, you could probably live here
