The only reference point you have right now
is the state that things are in
is the state that things are in
A pool drains down
to a point where brown water
leaves vegetation lines
on bleached concrete
I heard it described
that this hand was dealt cold-fisted
from the bottom of the deck
Some had overplayed it
although they may have just been ghosts
in the ether
Saturday morning cartoons
are context to others’ understanding
of the smoke that marks
this fire
Spiral vision is a landscape
sketched in a path
from the cornea
to the frontal lobe
It turns in on the user
driving its knife through the heart
of the matter
Sketched outlines of white light
simply illuminating blank black space
magnified and brought forth
into an immediate void
or ocean waves awash
in dreams lining the tides
of your stomach
