"Running on Premium"

1.
leaves after leaving the bough
dance still
on the sidewalk now
and still the air
in here
of the watcher perplexed
as thought upon thought
sifts
its golden grain

on the sidewalk now

2.
alembic shortfall
skeleton
rises in the predawn glow
hunches my neck
inspiration fizzle

3.
gladsome down payment obol
to the last vermilion stroke
as nervous as a gerbil
all ten of them at a strike
as ravens burble

no provisions no map no paved road
the inkbrush lides like a snake
through the myst'ry listening

and the amber glade
and the shades that croak
