the owls are sleeping

on a distant black planet

A scarf is pulled quickly

through the veins

of a covered bridge

4

Feeding those pigeons

each spoonful of stone

eyes of a doe

when nobody was around

say in an empty subway

after midnight

like a baby on fire

kicked off the edge

to indicate

there was no sign

or wise man singing

a buoy of blood

is tossed

to the far shore

5

Little hands were sprouting

in the cracks

of the sidewalk

Page 127

they have been told nothing
