origin story

Coulthart on Roeg.

      1.
Legacy pits our dord out spicy gale
cold light
at the end of warm day
a kid spinning with a branch
faint incessant barking
amateur baseball
it is 2018 & the saucers have not come

      2.
nail protruding from pegboard
harder than stone they built
they built pyramids harder than stone
in the mind's eye
harder than stone they built
vertigo
in a burning landscape
is there only desire

in the headlights
tattoo'd pastor
caught in the small rain

      3.
never look at the empty stars
or the stars behind them
precipice inly · scratchmarks
on a cell wall
wasp slime
the bottom of the catcher holds

To the Rain.
