many reasons

there are many reasons

why i'd like to move on 

the sea, for example, 

continues her midnight reveries 

dark and immaculate in her waves 

the fish sleep as they swim along, 

daybreak the sound of bubbles rising 

and anchors descending, and history 

ending. 

i've had dark carcasses on the mind for 

weeks and maybe (, bless me, ) i could 

have been colder than an April shower

[]

icy reigns withholding her tumultuous, 

cavernous reason. yes i've held breasts 

in twilit hours, grinning, and yes i've progress(ed)

perhaps as far as the spider is spinning 

her web, and the web's beginning. i don't 

know how to slope it out of the park--i'll 

have to hit it. i don't know how to make this

aroma any darker--i'll have to quit it. i don't

know how to make a lager any quieter, 

so come back in the afternoon when it's lighter. 

a flame to the candle to burn 

and a mantle with candles to burn 

a mantle with a man chanting sunscreen
