ice au laition

put together, the most reverberation 
is apart, under covers, wishing to be 
anywhere else 

take a step outside of time, please,
from the nonbeliever's prayer 
who does one ask 

when there can't be an answer 
it's a re-request, from a different era 
brought back to down, bright awful 

chalk spread across toast 
to harass the ears 

buttoned off so that the front 
can't be held together again
