RUINS
the porch is moveable
the rot green medicine chest is moveable
the fan & lady with ancient eyes are moveable
everyday i count what is moveable,
but i will never count myself as moveable
until i am removed by the black hole
that flies around sweeping up objects.
it is fine to be acquainted
with the pinch of daybreak
& fall into words
as deep as the forests.
he wore a black mask
outside the window
of the pornography shop,
& spotted the black eye of religion,
but the reverend said that
it was just a reflection.
in the garden he saw a tall tree
in her wide eyes, branching out.
in a gust all the leaves fell about him
