and tried to put a faceless anthem
to your skinny-kitten murmurs
in my nameless approach i sucked the bone from the marrow
i swung ancient sweats on your open emptied trains
i slept in saltwater mist
and raced my hearts content on blistered feet
my chalkless attempts to capture the humidity
left empty pints on emptied wallets
and my out of town sorrow lifted
and my nervous legs clung ambiguous to twilight
and i choked on your sparkled exhaust
and i slept on your invisible roof-tops
and watched
as silent sirens and women
drove by
