In Confidence.

"Nobody
bears witness for the
witness."

--Joris's Breathturn

Alone at the carnival.

"how pluto got its heart"

the cold orrery · tatters of the king
on the shore wolves · answer whales
toad crosses · my shadowy path
the dark by the dumpster · keep going

baroque clock · this maze margin
ragged edges · of the yellowing deckle
sienna cup · by half light
an order scattered · we return now

our desires formed · rogue linoleum
the harsh whisper · of a house on fire
the old dog huffs · & the pall intervening
closes ranks · becomes a wall
