tender_square (a poem composed of half_asleep_thoughts)

i'm the guy who let me down, as you know.
in life, without a scar there's no ghost.
i told her what i don't want. the definition

of it is a term that gives everything
else its movement—what little lifts me up.
sorry i wasn't more immaculate.

i have little inevitability
when there's so little time to lean on,
but what i imagined, i could give.

i know flash eye figures just before
the river bed. i know what gods are,
and that they must replace concrete.

everybody's perfect for ten seconds a day.

let me use the rest of me, and prepare
to see the interlocked dreams; the fire
that burns in me. i carry it around

like a planet: dark food for fury,
cutlery and chaos. it isn't even mine.
sometimes, when i'm in the drink, i'll look so

i can come up with a revolution.
the world is a gift when
you get to the train where ghosts don't matter.
