Reading Starlight with One Eye like Creeley

Reading Starlight with One Eye like Creeley

Reading Starlight with One Eye like Creeley

                            hearing all bells at
                            once instructs the final exhale
                            Camelot in thimble of  the gods
                            Marilyn Monroe’s ambulance
lost on the way to the palace of  temperament
a branch of government for the magical arts
                            punch wall of forest for
                            an oaken
                            desk
                            another dream we
                            needed agitating the
               sentence as it rows across a
               newly destroyed heart folding
               following tormenting one another
                            we were all once young and
                            beautiful squandering everything
                            it’s what we came here to do
                            cut off engines to the child
                            registering disposition of the
                            cat in the dark as the
                            size of the darkness
