Church Street Is Burning
(excerpt)
Church Street #35
................................................rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring
licking her
dreams.................. stretching her limbs................ yawning
she climbs out of
her sleep..... recalling..........the night before
when her heart was
taken apart...................... (some parts were lost
washes ............................................................some
were relocated)
dresses
a coffee and one
slice of dried toast
rushes out the front
door.........into a
................................................crowd..............cliff
dwellers
masses ............................................................from
steel and glass
swarming
into............ sub
..........................way
..........................holes.
.
On the platform a
gathering crowd gnaw at the air waiting...she
................................................................................................leans
................................................................................................out
to see the next
train appear loses her.............. balance
........................................................................falls
scrawled on the
subway wall:
Repent now! The
world’s end is down the hall.
