sucking on ice cubes

"a soft warm wind at sunset produces a low even rumble in your eardrums"
not writing songs anymore.
writing down disconnected impressions as they occur, however haltingly.
a collection of different puzzle pieces
it rained for an hour or more.
enough to sober up with the windows open.
the buzz from the turntable--sucking on ice cubes.
just a few weeks away from turning the furnace off.
like skimming the final paragraphs at the end of a chapter.
flipping backward or on a reread you notice notes there in the margin
dramatic tension
thrown from a golf-cart at the drive in theater parking lot
shitty timex torn from you wrist.
you'll carry an echo of familiar ticking in the quiet moments of the next decade or more.

garbage day

wednesday is garbage day
the big houses down the street
roll their trash to the curb on tuesday morning
time enough to give their contents ample chance for warming up
fragrant as you run by
a hobby that you picked up
trying to outrun a respiratory illness
light like little sips of water through your sunglass frames
trying to drown the pain of a headache
that lays in the folds of the soft tissue in your head
maybe it's allergies
or maybe last night's couple drinks
