To Her Sounds

I imagine a dancing body.

In one deck of playing cards a lifetime concert:

Spanish guitars and stickers, laughing white weeds.

Where this cotton used to be: peanuts

I am filled with strange blood, I am armed with Bermuda:

Save the fireflies, unplug the lights.

What is with these broken wings,

this chorus of cordless feet?

I stumble to a secret spot now

to move the marvelous words pulling weeds:

Irrigation pipe and engines, an intricate pulse-maze.

Where this crop circle used to be: a manger.

I see the song in the flesh, the lightest rug and see-through face;

Facsimile nation, leash this broken star, enliven graves.

What is with this pool of scenery,

these symbols and holy human shadows?
