*It originates in the dilation
Of your left eye blue
Marble columns
Splinter and shatter
As your elbow gracefully
Settles
Your head
Seven pounds eight ounces
Softly perched upon the arches
Your shirt pulled upward
The pinkish white of skin
Warm flesh
Spilled wine hair
Sleeping in the window seat*

*It originates in the dilation
Of your left eye blue
Marble columns
Splinter and shatter
As your elbow gracefully
Settles
Your head
Seven pounds eight ounces
Softly perched upon the arches
Your shirt pulled upward
The pinkish white of skin
Warm flesh
Spilled wine hair
Sleeping in the window seat*
