Hermann says to Jack (Mr. K)

pour out the sinewy, bulbous river
de las almas, Taker
and purge the atmosphere of
wasted moments
like tar-ridden lungs
en las montañas

where the sludge wears thin,
you get left with sticky surfaces
lest you scrub, but

when spiders spin at night
they get a pass these days

and so i pass this to you,
amigo,
like a still moving corpse
dictating Milton to the babe:

some days are nighttime
some days are dark
some days the long-set sun
waits a while longer,
sits still

One might do worse
