there long again
a motion from me tightness
a good one fathered up
in a dim-lit photo
sunset circularly old
reaching farflungs but me,
fiberoptic meowing
the laugh of a parade
in the trajectory of ball-bearings
packed in a suitcase
swans sank when you arrived,
doves rose into the nets of soupmakers
there are more than birds in my head but you
beneath the swans
your approach rustles
like bed sheets intimating air -
sweet bicycle's flexion,
your pooling navel
wrinkles from bedsheets,
fossils of sea-grass
foreign phrase
drenched in King Arthur:
a gyante
thus asaylle and guyd riddence -
so as I scrabble for a pencil
to trace your outline
the eclipse of you
burns through the white paper
like a cigarette's
penumbra of impending flame,
the black shadow
of a great bird
pouring through
me headlong into open world.
