Daylight
Stringed
rapport.
How do I ponder in a kaleidoscope
pond? Heartily.
The Ram crosses a dune
merging sky
from East to West.
Theater Set
Silken gut suspends staged ship.
Waterlogged Cancers tryst
at spiral staircase
under triumphal arch.
As soldiers pass,
Cancers hide in shadow.
The eclipsed Full Moon on Wednesday,
the sequel—, no.
