In Another Room I Am Drinking Eggs from a Boot - Frank Stanford

  • What if the moon was essence of quinine
  • And high heels were a time of day
  • The chauffeur is telling the cook
  • The antler would pry into ice floes
  • Swim with a lamp
  • And we'd be shivering in a ditch
  • Biting through a black wing
  • There would be boats
  • There would be a dream country
  • The great quiet humming of the soul at night
  • The only sound is a shovel
  • Clearing a place for a mailbox

we must descriptive, but never describe
