roses | ripple | in fragrance | an ellipse sheds
its creamy costume | lines criss-cross the segmented
face of an emergent reader of uninhabited agendas |
his hand is a bowl of transparent fingers
his touch triggers the migration of a butterfly
his position in all of this is to traverse
the flaws & cracks of a town | & gather
the white dust of past exploits | a speck
fizzes in the eye of a candle | slips into
the daylight | he sinks clouds to fill gaps |
to smooth contours | a single file of undercover
agencies violates the sleeper on the green sofa |
they explore the situation of fragmenting echoes
he refuses to capitulate | then suddenly disappears
through the narrow black gates of an untitled garden
