Green Shirt.

   burnt-out house
a thousand miles thorntelling
some merely for showing up

shrouds appear where eyes aren't

dowse for bees in the quagmire
seasons in the burnt outhouse

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.

"...hustle of rug vendors
   comply with no one
the shadows
   nor the dire air"

--Mông-Lan, Song of the Cicadas (2001)
