dclxii (out of order / half forgotten)

Jet, far away, like a distant storm

If I could begin to have a conversation
with a poem—when I do
my mind wanders.   Poetry goes
someplace
between here and the howling moon.
Moons—
(a small dog with a loud bark!)

Take me out of this.

A walking moon, 1935,
alongside a skiff. The gorgeous
shards of an automobile—

eleven mangled boats.
