it’s cold outside & burning
worlds fall
you know
see
a sky a full
collection i made
& didn’t you sound
a sad & bitter i
said was there ever
a further mile or
other star
this is not
a final play
the oceans where
we hold the fibre
mother cells adapt
easy said da vinci
& rising a man all
geometrical & i
don’t know how to write
these broken words this cataract
emerging
& black
a space
i didn’t find
end
repeats come on say
repeat an end
an end
the end
bye bye
