- From June
A house under construction faded fence, a pear rot in the sun who knew who knew measurementa parliament of lamps where a room dims the window I left open enough for you to appear [End Page 44]
Left the desert, whoyou were Design witnessto itself The unthinkableonce come to you Welcome a woman cradlesnothing in her armshere too beechwood [End Page 45]
a name bundlesa name a mountain cut out
the sky to say nothingof frost a name
sculptssculpts midair
each time you beginI step down a mountain [End Page 46]
