I will sacrifice delusionary doe eyes
a quartering of the caged books
locked in yellow armchairs in plaid blankets
cradle watchtower tongues slain rare
in the laconic king's lazy cochlea

take me out tonight and I will show you hours of stardust

where the Ptolemaic order has more truth
than the carnival of an intangible era
carnival of electricity carnival of saxophone
hooking the girls with the envelope dresses
it's not quite the mess it was before
we laughed into teacups and counted down
the hourglass on a chain around my neck

I will sacrifice retrograde diffusion
the tilted columns that hold up this grand cathedral ceiling
and turn off the lights.
