Names and forms
and from a crouch
a trial before breathing.
Mirages bruised,
'big fluffy flakes,'
speech, and notions.
The nations scattered,
an attitude of blue-
useless preface to
the waves bleeding,
the hand, occult,
the name erased
by jazz and heartstrings.
Orpheus misspelled.
Her eager thoughts,
stumbling, spare.
A fickle calypso
moving in
the distance,
like June light
in broken
February sky.
