Thought on the Stairs



Tomorrow a visage of ourselves embarks
in unreliable paper hats.  But tonight
they hang dampened by a long thought.
Still, their luminance can be seen for hundreds
of miles.  It is so beautiful a ghost puts down
its misty feet and walks. Places water
like a garment to its lips to quench the ash,
 and pauses like a phantom before a corner.
The breeze fills with monsters!
Everything is dangerous in the lion
skinned twilight.  Plums make for smoother
landscapes.  O sifter of words!
Seer of rumored worlds!
I pick up a heron by its neck
and carry it like a pitcher
through the millions of flagella
that feel for me.
