Let be the finale of seem. -- Wallace Stevens
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
and gaze at the moon till I lose my senses. -- from the song Don't Fence Me In
.............. SO get out when Black Mouse
LEAPS
(EEK)
out from behind
Ganesha's head
and blows lavender dust
all over the dead
los difuntos)
Ya' see, por que
Black Mouse makes
the world
without frames
reaching through
reaching through
shows empty hands
to each
and the sky
confusing sky for
hands clinched in
tight-yellow-too-much
feeling nothing green
is about to happen
or teach
to
clouds
hands
what do either
care
d r i f t i n g
beyond
the
moon
the fiddler plays on
a tune about rain & leaves
in patterns upon
an apron
of
rain
RabbiT dances with-
out caution
knowing
which
holes
to avoid
[so
he]
cuts loose
awash in blue
holes being of a
royal hue
a silver-net
trap set inches
from soft pink
clueless paws
pattering
Musical notes of
lavender wash
kick up from
sheer
blind delight -
just dust clouds
before a
f a II
the bearded stranger
(red hangs the sweep
of his
chin)
hangs back
in cobalt shadow
does not notice
(so busy looking
for giants)
Black Mouse
Black Mouse
laughs
(tee hee)
writes with its tail~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
