hello

hello
by oswald james
i saw a fallen starburst
glowin ‘pon a rock ring
in the flicker of a water spark
i drowned in a sleep of inconvenience
as i mumbled something
out of key
into a bathtub
while mirrors made me weary
of a black and white outta greyhound
of a desert
in a telephone call
that informs you that everyone is coming over
* hide your baby*
