stop motion photography

i'm leaving
the bats ball around too much
argue with the sky about who's blind
enough, for it weeps about a sun

placate the cotton around the fire
until all ablaze, a ruin, a pitchfork or a sundial
rumored cars are squeaks and make mice of the night
a diligent opportunity to run, forges legs

the optical illusions of rims, fans
that this will be the game that lasts

a song that better states the hymn of the republic than goals

in the smoke aloof from the grass, dance ancestors
who know the secrets when the other
sidelines of the mirror bar them

laugh arm over shoulder
taxied home with friends

the world up in smoke,
drags at our


heels
