A Story

A STORY

Here’s a little story, moon flower

morning glory,

growing round a grayish heart, apart

from everything else.

It used to be in order, acid greens,

weird citrines,

Men drove their little carts into the dark

to root it out.

And I found this strangest hole,

boarded up with wood and coal;

no more the men in rolly boxes

dig like foxes

for what shines,

basalt and brine,

confined in crystal mines.

The ink things confiscated,

migrated from the walls to the halls.

Falling, falling, falling,

the abyss a cistern calling,

but there’s no one to reply,

for the men have gone and died,

and what’s left inside is hiding, biding

time, biding time.
