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*
