    CHANGING MY PERFUME

    I’m changing my perfume again
    from roses to winter to sandalwood
    I’m moving all the furniture
    from southern to eastern and homeward bound

    He asks for space
    so she visits more
    he should know how this works:
    time and space in reverse

    I try to return my library books
    the library has disappeared
    a dog lies dead in the water
    you cannot exchange consequences

    The grave of Edgar Allan Poe is empty
    no roses or cognac
    an Unknown Heart is feared dead
    under the floor somewhere in Baltimore

    I am scared every single minute of the day
    what lurks behind this happiness?
    It is exquisite and it leaves one unsatisfied

    Sleep helps you avoid everything
    from wastelands to bossmen to magic tricks
    a darkness in the stillest deep
    with Jesus and Buddha and royalty

    And there’s nothing you can do
    but dream of what comes next
