looking around and out the door
the night air is cold, flowing in ,
big brown sheets of wet smog, deisel
kerosene fantoms, whistling unseen
displacing the stench of a thousand ammonias
anyhdrous snakes coiled one by one\
elbow to hand to hang up
to stumble on
to be still and worthless or quiet and careful
to see the cold eyes the barn door had kept hidden
the animals that growl every night waiting to fill the morning with light
