Ive got someone else’s lip gloss
on my mouth
and somehow
that gets me to thinking
about Pablo Neruda
and his doves
so well concealed
so readily revealed
the fluid in my spine
is slowly returning
to my brainpan
but im not sure that it will help
much
with this jacket
that found its way onto my back
Ive never seen it
before
everyone likes
the way it smells
it is not a scent
that I recognize
certainly not
my own
not that this leads me
towards any thoughts
of actually taking it off
it keeps me warm
and in rotation
but I get the feeling
that they will bury me in it

in other news
the gloaming
lies in a handful of dust
that I left outstretched for charity
it’s a word I just learned
and figured id use it
before I found out what it meant
not even the melancholy sirens
of distant harmonies
have much to lay on the table tonight
other than reflections
of a face id rather see in the travel section

the walk to the corner market
only takes a few minutes
maybe I will do something
worthwhile
on my way
on my way
to buy the poison
that keeps me alive
