Reason mesa and the opposite
a people’s calendar of their own beauty
she is a whispered clearing
Although rain water
is a face
and you gather under trees
our belief in spoons and time
the bride of desire’s lonely lesson
the sacred lake again
spars goat bones
old rivets
like the spread of her skin
flat stones
fire
on the cold night beach
and then she put on mud frogs
to win him over
the lover mother or sister
the collective myths of the night
husband and wife
injured by violence
and the forest
soul syllable o willow
vision speaks an order
powders of leaves
flaps fruit
the traffic below
a numbered beauty?
glorious unfaithfulness
of words
in private complex
machinery
he sees for a moment the sleepless thought
lodged in the sea
and then breathes deep.
