Apr 2018
at moontide, a branch finaled
against the wall.
waving as the frizzy snap of
a violin string.
tiled floor, the schema of
a chessboard--its black and white
slowly drinking rain.
broken continuum raised at odd angles,
voyeuristic sky boring holes in the ceiling.
or a starry break in the
window--
by a rock from the idle palm of a
pubescent boy.
in a room that has flown away from
its house, to engender a new kind
of dwelling.
only a bare mattress rests on the floor,
glowing like a turquoise swimming
pool.
mothering time in its deep dreams
of sleep, floating caches of eyeless
fish.
the room, starving for human energy--
contaminates itself, thus condemned
to demolition.
yet another unsung, and profound
isolation artist.
