s cycle is a sun wheel

a finger tip knows to hover

rotary dials the alphabet

and back spells a swing return.

This key warns a habit,

a rite opening up in practice:

flower that comes back as flesh

*

Wire worms up

grows back a hole

needless to pierce the night

into melting stars of blur.

The heat of light

shines in the after rain and

the sky of an eye forever soars.

Pupil echoes a lightning

bug’s glowing sound.

It bursts and

it fades and

it bursts and

yes—pupil reflects

what approaches

*

Rooftop footsteps

dust ice on deck.

Underneath

plank and bones

we are hidden passengers.

Down we hear

the reverse of an alarm.

*

Curtain of static.

Behind

the flickering surface of

laughter

bounces on mirrors

and lands on mouth.

Laughter

feeds

back.
