Where the Field Retracted

indifference requires a lineless sky

               the muted television appears

a substitution

what split from the body days ago

               still hovers in a corner

of the stairwell

               to sleep a position-less

               arc between

concept and illustration

waking slow to hail falling on the air unit

               any case of interiority

itself reversible

               arguably imagined

On Balance
 

after blooming the cactus shrivels incrementally

*

driving away, an ox— its horns crooked

*

blame grows small in the moth’s circling

*

day to day the slightest tooth loosens

*

a landscape changes until returning by habit

*

the child’s sound without concept repeats

*

where intention collects— a sparrow lost in topiary
