Quiet, by night

quiet, by night
under the surface,
and inaudible.
seamless skin sans scars
disappearance to horizon
mainly abstract
visible between eyes
come closer
the rib cage rises
rests
eyes close
far from prying eyes
little loves and loathes
swash off platform
raze for the rage
wash for the wait
hatred for the carnival
the flash, the crowd, the cause celebre
as it returns home
to the salt and seed
the grain and the withstanding
to purge allergy
inhale the garbage as harvest
here the itch
here the headless bed
here the stomach
here the rule of threes
here the numerology
for finding places on maps
for asleep under sheets
i am temporarily dead
merciful solitary
