This is
the shadow drop
hollow eyed cats
shed thick folds of fur
in zigzag moonlight
barefoot steps
scan the silt
below the bridge
that passes overhead

the driverless cars
automatic, turbohydramatic
cruise controlled static
attached by rust
held in place
by luck

outside

goldfishoutside

there is a stone

the color of the evening sky

it disappears into the night

as the sound of rain

stretches into the future

a bird

a heron is fishing for his dinner

seeing through reflections

brighter than he is

for that sustaining pulse

the heartbeat

that feeds the stomach

the surgeon of the night sky

restores dead things

with the power of sound

Bit by Bit
I disappear
There are no cows
nor horses here
there is no land
to give me strength
sky silver blue
held at length
nothing closer
than the arm
the day
a bubble
the world
beyond

the planes
that left their trails
before
eaten by
the evening star
the intervening
breath
before darkness
lays its wreath
between
the devil
and the deep
a falling inward
asleep
