Lit as a chandelier, you go living
room to living room. There's no
easy way to say evening
in the half-dark.

You press your face to the window.
You turn into string.

Hours move like fish
in the room & you hold yourself
face & lips      to the evening.

I watch pigs
do simple things outside
& you      hair & fingers
laced like straw

touches of mud on your throat.

In Epistles
      Artaud dies
  He drinks
  Things my hands
The deer here
Seeing so many things lay about
  When the executioner's tired
  Not a real deer
  If he is seeds
  I would wield a large pair of scissors
By counting
He says so
He tells me to move
The time being
You touch me
We refuse
There are locusts
