ACHAEOPTERYX
They took a cross-section of spine
This was encased
Like everything abandoned in the desert
Going way back
Just my chin on a corner, a brick shuddering under another sad brick
Telescoped
Back to the Now:
A belt dreams over the back of a wooden chair
40 years later you're still packing
The rose is a delicate thorn and it punctures
The burning match
The shadows the evolving birds throw down all levered with efficient
000teeth
They stand in the limelight of the past
(Their faltering voices won't plow through your windows)
Just throw away those chopsticks
They put in a pond
One large, artificial bed
She wants to come back as a golden retriever
I'm still trying to recover
