I'm dragging my feet...
excerpt from Waste

Levi Rubeck

I’m dragging my feet
through space. This cold sea
has been cleaned out
of summer jams and rest stops.

I’m thirsty for the stars 
that never really get close.
Dead light and deaf ghosts
and gaps between atoms. 

Broken bodies pile up
between my open legs.
I want to be buried
in the navel of space,

where the graffiti is golden
and an infidel like me
can book passage with
those celestial smugglers
we read about as children.
