night as a cistern...

looking out from a window in the treetops...

in someone's house or in a barn...

a hero of waiting...


WORDS I CANNOT UNDERSTAND
bad traffic on the way to...


CHANGE IN THE WEATHER
the wailing stops...


WHAT WILL I WRITE ON THE LAST PAGE
blank paper stares at me...

CURIOSITY


the president of the future
says he will hurt me least
if I tell accurate stories
of things that never happened

it is my mouth opening to object
but the words of another soul
that fall to the floor and roll
playfully under the furniture
