like an October frog

in looking
is the seen
is the looking

is truth the facts

ash
there is beauty in decay
but take care not to make a model
or an idol of death
or ***** an effigy made of the mess

seeing clear in the day but our vision marooned

like a map-maker
lost

the whir of the mind-clock spinning
giving forgetting
to a dance in the dark
