Dispatches From a Desiccated FIeld

I craved third rails, a shot of something strong
When I found out it doesn't last for long.

Sun is on the field again.

I think I see you in the wind,

But then I think I see the wind.



What hasn't happened

Isn't everything, until in

briefer days it starts to be.



We, so well-acquainted with

The night, forgive us if we

Wander toward the light.
