EDENFALL II.

1.
   turmeric
hum · fringed smokescreen
   ferries trowel
wistful scuttle
   shrift culver

2.
   steeply lost
from the main game
   in bought time

windshield snapshots
   can't capture
more than tumbling

   karst handouts
the mall empty
   came to see

   steeply lost
from the main game
   in bought time

3.
Jupiter or Venus
my porchlight shadow
stop sign down the street

picks up the brake lights' momentary glow

"There is a certain element of the detective novel in the Mallarméan enigma: an empty salon, a vase, a dark sea--what crime, what enormous misadventure is indicated by these clues?" --Alain Badiou, Being and Event (tr O Feltham, 2005)
