- 63 -
Windows in a building
facing the ocean
diffuse sunlight filters
through reticular angles
clouds of raven wings
dripping condensate
on rank lawn refuse
here she thought
to count the raindrops
symmetries in isolation
a porous stone’s glaciated edge
walking the concrete berm
at season’s end
there were the uncultivated
orchid garden weeds
there were the palaces
of Hellenic grandeur
there were monads of pretense
to envision
the wheel of poverty
slowly disengaging
a life lived through
a plurality of tense
a palimpsest redacting
the vaporous fables
the past of poisoned wells
the inaudible hourglass ghosts
ebbing thru the plastic aperture
the sculptured image-essence
unbound to philosophies’ articulating
the granite tongue opiates
