"They should invent a mysticism..."

"reading the carbonized scroll"

the dying kept at a distance
sneak back · the snide
ding'd snowglobe

captures your whole caring
scuttles with skewed scorecard,
sets cage in the sky

a ghost follows gamboling
no ruins you can riddle
a gate rears up

facing the before-time
& in the harsh hooded hour
the ferryman is happy

Porcupette.

There's courage--& then there's going-back-to-Russia courage.

The Disappearing.
