Together in One
I will be.
Or else this
room. This being and place of rest; sweating reprieve from toil and
pursuit. This middle. Factory break room of all. And me, inside them.
The common river in the nightshift of desert plains. Coming to
mid-point idle, dinners and lunches. In trance and slow passage to
bitter aging meanness, we sit and eat, and stare. Out windows into
street light and dark. Windows that sieve light, that reflect half in
mirror, looking inside this room - fluorescent haze and night.
Breathing inside this work of power and content; the calm anxiety.
Breathing in the medium room of adulthood, sailing away in vessels on
oceans never to return – to die in the waters, murdered by
dreams, against purgatory rooms. I, and my opaque reflection in glass.
To disappear in things, into a dark star. Invisible, restless.
