    asleep, I walked
    awakened through the backyards of town out there

    between

    the fences the paddocks and a darken
    face the warm wet coolness dew
    on grasses

    seed every sleeper waiting poises on a surface
    every shape, every window corner, every board that
    lined

    every edged and edgeless facing it as I listed
    a silence

    wait look at lacy grey and blue in lawns crawled like
    a fat black cricket through it
    a small rodentious chase beside borders
    sheltered yards where cracked
    vision begins and ends
    unveiled is there an unseen but cornered glimmer there still

    a sky beyond the rooftops

    (we heard some of them had said about how they never knew about the shine)

    it would be over if the enslumber growing
    woke them emplanted to say nothing
    end consec que and lee we
    rescued them from friendly grey
    green blue neighbourhoods where shadows went wrong

    the sun had been up, but we knew
    how to see the glowing we were lucky
    we were consequent

    It was all about saving them
    shine a little we only had
    a little time right

    and we taught them there's a way they could go now
    the sun really was coming up
    over the yardarm

    and
    we dreamed a liquid light
