TRAVELOGUE
call back the cards now
and lay down the pen
take off your glasses
and unpack your things
feel with your thumbs
the edge of your chin
and hold your hands up
again
I lower my head now
I halt and I stand
I follow the lines in
the palm of my hand
feel with my thumbs
the dust on my skin
and no, I will not
dream again
I’m ready now
I’m going now
nowhere
don’t take me out
I’m breaking out
in air
I’m ready now
I’m going now
nowhere
bring me some water
and don’t bring me wine
turn off the movies
let it be time
destroy all the airplanes
I’ll sleep on the floor
we must dream no
more
I’m ready now
I’m going now
nowhere
don’t take me out
I’m breaking out
in air
I kill the fire
I close the doors
and I watch you
no more
