burnt night, here in this city.

through the night, through the walls to us all

(and all and all)

...breath electric where we are walking

in the mesquite breeze

take my bones to the valley.

through the avenue, under crooked traffic light

cry city dogs, city dogs cry the whole night

through

and

miles and miles (or maybe

somewhere in between) this dream cries:

"we are holding, holding it all as it crashes down

all down."

...there is little more I can ask for than the weather tonight

It was last night (a cool desert breeze)

It was last night (a cool desert autumn) under the mesquite, i saw the stars in both myth and nature. The train too (heard from my back yard). Spent all day looking. Loitering. I saw two birds preening along the canal, they reminded me: the heavy summer is over.
