Complex Knowing - Number 5

Booze sipping in light shade
Pale write noting derision
Palliative,
Stoned arido colombard
Pays d’oc la baume,
The afternoon slips away
Detested.
All angles and bones, all
Pale skin dreaming of ways
To work painting Egon
Irrevocable touch of
Unconsciousness,
Oracle eyes brown and
Immutable
Bedroom changing, involved to sell the oil
And pay your debts, pressed fast
Hard against the glass. Light
Slips away, winter does her mouth
Flickers a smile takes
Possession.
And granted, there is no more
Of this, but there is always knowing adult
Needful consolation, doorknob closing
Against the acrostics against
The span of attention.
