The Nacreous Oughts

23 February 2012


    80.
silky smooth
in the dark a compass
Melshire
Arkikosa
flight of birds

authentic lineage
bankster GTO
blackened lungfish
5 identical screens to watch
of cartoons while you wait

that lane's all torn up
this one's torn up too
but not as bad
Estas Li Tiu, Kiu montras
al vi Siajn signojn


terrible lamps in delicate fire
kaj sendas al vi el la cxielo
stone lantern
made of papier mache
la provizajxojn
inside are newspapers
that marked the day
edge of the roof-shadow
on the faded planks of the fence
edge of battle

if i ever
lose my sense of danger
edge of traffic
He can hear the door
in the spark
