Venus shines with the idea
that a judge has spoken,
even when she is feeling
the fatigue of spring…
He has powers over animals
like darkness itself
poorly understood.
“An obscenity, indeed”…
I purchase a bottle of time, expecting
the fiber-optic green flask to hold it,
but the subdimensional nature of light
keeps letting phrases out…
Houses on riversides
forever are perpetually reflected,
Boathouses on lakes
long-anchored forge ties long lasting…
