bait the hook with something that looks like them /
and flashes in the long dark /
like another eye sharing the little light /
other air awaits /
hueless except for those increasing dangerous days /
the first time there’s a song there /
prepare for slivers in the lungs /
feel that space arranged, pressing in time /
no floating particles to plot space /
you may not be thankful in your lifetime /
it might take a few unrelated generations /
to appreciate walking over every little thing
