when reassigned, the man
oblivious to his current privacy
calls on his few belongings
to become
the well trained animals
of his previous
transience
and is carried
sleeping
by them
to a place
far, not far
with two questions
for magic
light as an itch
in the body
of a god
whose assassin son
owns only
what he can store
as regret
in the animal
mind
