lonely survivor /
eating glitter /
out of scattered handbags /
turning over rocks /
looking for electricity /
what was a private night /
is now every distant thing /
sweating into the ear /
though the candle bends /
towards the open door /
your mother missed the planet /
she won’t be there /
to tell you all this is yours /
breathing in the smoke /
rather than singing aloud /
the whole cake is a slice /
wedging the night door open
