Here We Are Like A Leaf Driven
Past two-by-fours scratches word
UTOPIA splintered wood transparent
BLUE larvae how minute bits
of damage punctuate until
you look behind
dust acres wet heaps
parchment there's more parchment
how minute bits alternate
punctuate ash oil SCOURGE
fingers spreading hour after hour
left-hand writing
Dirt walks in bloodstream spots
of RED turn into doodles smell wet heaps
BLUE wool cool GRAY-GREEN stone
Lucy female surgeon positions
the TRIPTYCH
encapsulating her life darker
background attention drawn
to column of archway black silk hood
pearls & lace WHITE as milk
drawn to The Book of Psalms
DESOLATION dust
Cycles core to core
CLOCK TICKS malt wine oats & straw
coal lead plumber work mills & dams
DAYS collecting how minute cracks
in porcelain light etches
nucleus riddles shell WHITE fear
etches scorn curved
a club-footed newborn detaches
segments of waterjugs BLUE
face to face self spawning
transparent BLUE larvae
