From The
Telescope Apartments
1
—filters laughter
to this patio
engines over
press the hollow walkways
as if laughter split
that dust & shocked thread
settles
in shingles mouths
gravel fat
bandwidth
the plane envelopes:
air
lawn
enclosures identical to the end
of eye
city
of dense tendon
bones?
flex
monstrous
stochastic
4
common frame
intimate the emptiness
in & out
sod arrives in rectangles
they arrange it from the base of our low
white wall
out
you are sauteeing beef for Bolognese
in the warm kitchen
they finished hours ago
you are full
in weeks the rye will join
cease to be singular
for that moment
6
we bought it yesterday the neighbor
made shooting sounds
behind his screen door at our dachshund
and Jessica
the dealer assured it was stainless and polymer
but how frail it curls
low and protruding through the panty drawer
7
The moment your beautiful in front of the lemon
trees
white belts
up to the ocher and green
tuck
of space
occupied
occupies us
as through those branches
heavy with lemons
leaves
gesticulate with sheer stillness
a ‘principle of their series’
rooted
trickling to this present
this showcase
convincingly
you pause
but there must be something further back
must be
further
within
away from pithy
‘us’
