After Midnight 

1


Ruby’s Particles

The rain
After midnight
Like ruby’s particles
Its drizzles volatile with the air 
In the night of a completion
A moon session.

2

Fate

Time’s clouds fade
Chatterer
Ride the wind’s horses
Like a loose Hally comet
And fallen leaves
That autumnal a sticky hint
On the forest's skull
Its band sings the first move
From the fifth symphony
To Beethoven.

3

Hum

Are there any nerves left for us
From the patience of a roaring appetite 
In the nitrate samples
of the nations' senses?
What enters us
Never leaves us,
Its small hole with pus
Adheres someplace
On the heart's membrane,
With each swell it becomes convex,
These are the blades of a throb,
The ax of time,
The hum
After midnight.
