from "Lightbox"
Red balloons fell all evening.
Feeling tumble-
weed, I disassembled
objects to put in – language
with mushroom,
the late dark lake. I wept
at the first
fluke, at the patter
of water-running birds. Saw
the windmills,
a circus of swans,
injected preparations
of sense organs.
Taste the lure,
mute, forcibly seamed.
