bright abzu above
me and running just as fast
as the train when night
a sanctuary of visions
chases to my right in the shape
of a paper dragon
in indigo, and red, and mint green
the breeze is in my bones
inside my heart the train clicks on the tracks, and i sing what agrees
with how fast a wordless chant
bright freshwater ocean above
parceled out this morning all white
and on the television
a lion curls around the little calf
calm down i will not eat you today.
