keep the diary in double time,
double down and ante up
on don't care compulsion

cos life's laid along hours,
a lonely cocoon of daydreams
secured with nails to time's anvil.

in the dream cathedral,
a little vision's inheriting eyes
that feed on fumes to survive
the brain yard of operas.

it peaks and falls
with rapid eye
in the light stream.

it wonders around iris water
and overlays other worlds
built on fantasy machines.

a teaspoon of fatigue
becomes a compass load
to leash the angel and the witch
as proof of pet or prisoner

until the alarm's red numbers
are stunned in sunlight;
graveyard seeds always die.
