downturn (2008)

another day down
pixel candy holding up your blood

lottery/obits
clutter the morning

afternoon ceded to
pixel candy hunt
(she has thighs pre-glows defenceless)

deferdefer

*

music does not enter

*

(occasionally filling notebooks with sludge)

*

go out for medication
to maintain radio silence

radio calm

*

music does not enter

*

skin up with unmailed letters
tobacco laced with hair
also to maintain radio silence

*

everything so well-connected:

(is singing in the wires)

*

pain shoots up your street into your mouth
holding up your blood

*

all else fails

*

look to bright futures:
cherish armoured children /
tree-like devices

*

inhabit unwatched film /
sit low on the totem
