A Bronze Waltz
[a found
poem: all phrases from She, A Blueprint]
A sweet
floor
might
not be needed
where
cerulean meets ink
if the
space between disappeared
if the
outside were the disappeared
lacquer
deteriorated
normally
this would have been the end
but
this
strain for something
cannot
continue
knots
jolts
furniture
paradise
Visibly Part of a Ghost Effect
[another
found poem]
Inked
with Sep-timber
she
cannot bear rest
she made
lists and more in secret
she is
not as sound as a continual puzzle
the
light
projecting
a trapezoid
sets in
on the slats
she
drinks
spit
her
vacancy
coincidence
in color
a
deliberate attempt at never
when she
moves
take
back the fence post
a
flicker
a
matchbook
the cut
floor
city
avenues
out of
bounds
the
catapult of particles
this is
an instruction manual
