Just drifting down

Jandek


The days were all the same, whirling
The nights were off shades 
Standing picturesque 
She stood and sat, moving her body 
Clothed, dangling 
It was all there was 
And it lasted through time 
Like a frosted field 
As gray surrounds you in a mist 
He walked among the granite rocks 
And the lusty, velvet pasture 
All my life I have dreamed of these steps 
As he thought he could 
Push rocks together all around for shelter 
But he laid down when the sun was far away 
And stared at the stars 
In the frozen night
