i can write the moments
that will never vault the sky--
a cracked blued brilliance--
or force a gape
in a long-spanning list
or a pair of lips held
in such a pressing closure.
unaffected me:
the net spreading too wide
and catching only the
blank buzz of news
growing green and guileless
in a space of absolutes--
the needle of
my compass
dialing without care.
