shadowless

"The door that did not exist 
stood open" 
(Frank Bidart) 

all that talking had suddenly stopped
eyes closed. darkness welcoming 
the rest of the colors 
which one will borrow from the other? 
poetry on a side. same with the rain 
I feel like sending it to the backyard. 
what should one do with this autumn? 
working 9 to 5 from my own house 
then working some more 
twisted words 
regretting that they even exist 
someone is clapping obsessively from inside the refrigerator 
literary world vanished forever 
as far as I am concerned it can go straight to hell 
the grass still standing up shadowless is 
underneath the leaves 
equipped to last more than the roses 
catching my entire attention 
as you do these days
