The state long gash of dull liquid lead
w/ currents cracked white at their tips like dead leather
gather hot sunlight in cold greasy pools
on their shallow slide past the mountains bared arm.
We flooded this bench seat with 2
bags + bodies
fresh life inhaled by thin tin crucible
pleather & vinyl + flesh & blood
fill daisy-chained capsules
that fire machine gun shot out of the station.
We watched the trees + churches smear
watched their atoms billowed to dust against the river + the stone
as the carriages quenched through the almost autumn air
gently rocking down the stitched steel crossties
that bifurcated between the heights + the depths
+ your arm pressed against mine.
Septuagenarian cushions grip the backs of your clothes
as sleep like sandbags jostles you softly down.
Behind you, the windows filled with storms
raging before the slow scrolling vistas.
See shadowed shoulders bare oxidized scars
blood groove rock slides that fed waters jaws
+ left billboards of sediment for scabbed over stab wounds.
As neighbored peaks shrank to burial mounds down the killed valley
that mountain of granite kept cracking the tides
+ you don't wake in time to see the immortal
the marble grand fjord over insipid stream.
The shallow slide of molten silver
boring the mountains tall amputee scars
as the currents crack white @ their tips like creased leather
+ gather white sunlight in their brushed velvet skin.
