little star in the east2 cased

there was a density in the room undevolved by the passage of time
a minute grew into four or five and he could no longer look up
the bodies in the space sharing the same air became fleshy a
collective shudder washed over the cream "neutral" when the glass
door broke a cold november snap brisk on opening door yelling
CHILD! COME BACK HERE! who ran through the legs with
black marks on his small cheeks and ragged gasping just laughter
hands up yelling hello hello waken the time it is the day of the redeeming
it is the day we go to the mall to shop for christmas and it is the day
that plankton walk the streets unfettered it is the day that love has entered
your sallow lives

and they smiled
