I Saw White Flowers Race to Cover My Eyes

I saw white flowers race to cover my eyes
I saw the city with all eight white legs in the ocean
I saw string bridges
I saw wind press a page to the building
I saw strangers asleep
I saw a man kneel in his uniform
I saw the seventeenth century in a dream
I saw the curved hands of animals disappear in the grass
I saw a boy with one ear and a girl with a seam on her face
I saw the view of the red clock tower
I saw a man carry his sleeping child
I saw your face hidden
I saw the face of the president
I saw trees shake in the morning
I saw sparrows in a wheel from the train
I saw the green tear of sleep before it left your eye
I saw a white haze before the tree
I saw the room fold itself in half
I saw a boy put a cigar in his teeth
I saw my uncle marry his wife
I saw the white band of the afternoon just above the earth
I saw the sharp mouth of the bird stay open
I saw a girl push the looks from her eye
I saw fists of light
I saw painted earth
I saw the road fall under a hill
I saw the last light’s red arrow
I was trying to keep you awake
I saw the blue land under a storm
