Tentative
clouds are waving hands
bear inside a palm
desperate fronds chandelier
sky is oily
where the egrets peek out
soiled clock undressing behind the arches
of eternity
guessing game
marvelous display
of daffodils thereafter emptying
from the hidden mountain lake
jasmine breath of stars
like a disease
rainforest spreading through air
emigrating across hollow distances
shimmering bells of famine perfume
