Simon Evans, “Everyone” @Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

to be or not to be

the dead can sleep
they don’t get up and rage
they don’t have a wife

her white face 
like a flower in a closed
window lifts up and
looks at me

the curtain smokes a cigarrette
and a moth dies in a 
freeway crash
as i examine the shadows of my
hands

an owl, the size of a baby clock
rings for me, come on come on
it says as Jerusalem is hustled
down crotch- stained halls

the 5 a.m. grass is nasal now
in hums of battleships and valleys
in the raped light that brings on
the fascist birds

I put out the lamp and get in bed
beside her, she thinks I’m there
mumbles a rosy gratitude
as I stretch my legs
to coffin length
get in and swim away
from frogs and fortunes
