Drawn Blank

Sleep out on the sand
wake up with your throat cut

all in a day’s work

shake the dust of any number of places
& hit out on the highway
IDEAS (a list of painkillers)

feed the cats
open all the windows
all the doors
let the day inside
feed the brain bone

wake up & feel like
cutting your own throat

a way of testing reality (in Sanskrit)

compared to the way words get
welded to things like ideas

scrawled in blood on a counterfeit sunset
