Subject(s): Hallucinations & Illusions; Magic


the rats play in the rain
decay of a plenitude
the saloon shakes off rhythms

a flower at a girl's waist
an uneasiness strangles our spirit
drink some brandy it burns the brain
the police are bored

a film unrolls before my eyes
we hear well-known voices
Chicago and New York and New Orleans
the Rockies and the plains

Florida calls us
with a magic moon
