NULLE PART

The elegant engraver’s grooves: soft dares

to follow down to the glass-roofed quai, embark

on the last train’s last car hurtling through the dark

tunnel irregularly blazed with flares

alizarin, viridian. Lit by the glare’s

a silhouette, androgynous, at work

setting (in Paris? London? Prague? New York?)

mosaic tiles. She leads you up spiral stairs

into the blue explosion of the air’s

matinal brilliance. But she disappears—

avid flesh, mercurial avatar

desire or imagination sends?

And then you know exactly where you are:

the street is narrow; you see where it ends.
