Green colors my depth,
and it was green that
fell from my eyes when
the glasses emptied.

The bottles swelled in
a glass wave. The city
was white and quiet.
We walked in the snow.

Breakfast was a distant
impression. Cabs passed
without stopping, and
everywhere one could

hear abrasion in the
atmosphere. Yellow
lights looted the fog
for something to love.
