Their eyes are always open
lights are always on
the children cut and quartered
scattered on the lawn
in the big white heart
she slumps so full of holes
head against the glass
her lungs like carbon copies
ready to collapse
for a big white heart
wade into muddy water rising to your hips
light falls in frantic fingers held against your lips
there is nothing harder than the principles of sleep
every big machine’s got an awful lot of me
he sits upon the staircase
contemplates the burn
of how his DNA yields
diminishing returns
like a big white heart
how does the night grow longer crawling like a weed
we don’t write letters only drawing in our dreams
there is only one way out now – exposure in the street
every big machine’s got an awful lot of me
