in the somnambulist's mind
a quiet hunger stirs
visions flying through unkempt lives
a kaleidoscope of souls
through the clinking metal gates
to pace the streets of san antonio
clutched tight in his knobby
little
hands
an armadillo holds all the keys
'careful where you step, zee.
those tangerines are apt to bite,'
he says with a facetious smile.
'it's really not so bad
once you get used to the decay.'
in the quiet hunger of dawn
a somnambulist stirs.

I am lonely.
Nobody tells me in pretty.
Nobody laughs at my jokes.
Nobody talks to me morning,noon or night.
I am so empty.
It is so dark.
I cannot stand it.
Look at you.
You smile.
You laugh.
Your eyes have a wildness I cannot explain.
Look at the way you move.
So proud,so free.
I cannot take my eyes off you.
I cannot get you out of my mind.
What was that?
You looked my way?
Was that a smile?
My heart is racing.
You shouldn't be allowed to affect me.
You do.
Do I affect you?
You kiss me.
You tell me,Yes I do.
You are warmth,both emotional and tangible.
It is oh so nice to have another heart oh so close to mine.
Never let me go.
Dear God I

We stay at a hotel in the middle of somewhere-nowhere, Illinois, small-town-almost-no-town-at-all. If you trek a half-mile in that direction you'll find a sort of main street. Most of the shop buildings are for rent, storefronts stand empty and dark, ceilings inside collapsed, some species of scattered lesser temples, innumerable ages ago discarded.
I walk long miles by night or day down empty railroad tracks, the tracks of passing writers, painters, engineers, coal, hydrochloric acid, freight. The rail guards riding last cars wave in passing and leave me on my way. Gravel and porous fossil-like cement rocks crunch at every step.

fucking love this. why didn't i read it earlier?
i'm not sure why i like this so much. it seems that with such a prompt it should be rigid or difficult or confused but it isn't. it seems to have just come from simple inspiration, and that certainly is an appealing aspect - the fact it doesn't seem to have been forced. it's lovely and fluid and elegant and bright and beautiful.
