Lightning Flashes Coil

So heavy, so slow
Taking care to tell all
This moment's mirror
The mirror of that moment

"Hours scratch each other"
The surface all over
The quick and the dead

The day gets up and walks away
Enormous strobic ecstasies

Robes of silt
Black veins and trampled skies
Crowned with hours
Turned inwards

Like my dream
When you arrive
To find yourself dreaming
Floors and walls

Walls of summer snows
Spectral roses reverse
To soils unstained
