pg 72 got my ass…

“down on both knees
elbows poking into the night

it’s true
this deep connection
it’s really true

the earth gives out a message
it breathes out
i catch it on the inhale

skunks
dead rabbits
the day’s heat escapes

you’re on a train somewhere
i can see you staring out the window
somewhere outside Salt Lake City

i’m right here
hanging out the window
