Shovelling ovens

In waiting rooms of shovelling ovens
Sweaters remove satraps
While heavens wait
One two three snore
Lips off bothering onramps
Lamps counting
Reverb off
In salmon days of shadows
The snores left behind
Over doors under shelves
The rainbows are trouting
Just before the lunches jump
Swimming in schools
Full of underline
And the cross outs went back
To where the tables left off
There was no understanding
Just the deepness that sweaters together
Pest to pebbles that sleep
Under doors over shelves
Shovelling ovens in that tea deep steep.
