books and plays and invented characters
one and only one
a childhood photograph
close this book right now
what do kids know anyhow?
walk into a bookstore
drag up loose threads
a creature of time
without any discernible plan
eddying at the doors
with an extreme intimacy
a copy, word by word
slightly more grim than good
their tongues had shrivelled
extinction was looking possible
wild as a dingo on drugs
rising mist and gun smoke
looked like an accident
the naked woman on the dais
the nature of her discomfort
red and clean, polished
the skeleton of the page
the flesh and clothes
dark overcoat and formal attire
beautiful old school cemetery
green like an emerald
time-blackened gargoyles
blister in need of lancing
throbbing behind my eyes
every petty vexation
which fortune may dispense
maybe a drop of rain
once upon a time
