losing pieces—locating fragments, wildfires, aborted
skies, swimming through sludge;
hell hounds, fraught by self-annihilation, eyes moist
with sulfur,
holy ashtrays,
relic paths, carnal grails.
complete sunrise morning—
tarantula night eyes, woods filled with ants: gnats,
dragonflies, tarsiers and lemurs.
more boundaries—in sinning legacy, chords higher in
spaces,
traumatized, attending choir.
many legged miracle; enchiladas for breakfast; soft
cherry wine like water;
tales told, sold for earnest, combined with existence;
lawyers at bars, higher vocals, lower decimals.
in racing signs, symbols, luxuries—by stars drinking
sunshine, meant for one falling;
most terrific grace, most confused excellence,
losing pieces, locating fragments.
