i saw the sunset
tonight, she on her gurney
and i in my dream

     
ah, the old silk bed
has room for one more. slide in
and make her happy.

     
broken shadows cross
the pane and one bloody hand
reaches for the door

     
a pink toad, slick with
poison and love, clung to an
old twig and vanished

     
an old shark takes him
by the leg and pulls him
down into heaven
