Death Window

                         

      gently

druid orange she

         says

pirouette

in the rock white

     breath         

 

of each of us of each of her sycamore

spires here kindly

 

undressing the shorelight

 

So I Know The Shadows are Mine

 

Ashen, write

and unwrite

me there, hanging

 

periscopes

 

pirranhas pliers

Witchcleft

And the sound of

       And the sound of

                               Needing

                             The last dusk

                   she longs

   white

             

                   A large night

                 window. Pyramid, no

           pyramid.
