IN THE CEMETARY BY THE STADIUM

Rain hit you on purpose
All over your second language

Busted iron archway over
Over a street of bats

Hinge of radiance
Passionate solipsism

Put an apocalypse in the middle
To make light of the room

Taxonomies of rain
Unravel at the shoulder

Cavalry vs. Calvary vs. Calgary

Compulsory nervousness
Would not follow you to Texas

Shaken awake as the car rolled
Razorblade under your tongue

Make a room of light
Going into the ground
