She manages to adopt an extreme yoga position

(her invention) pressed

against the metal like a bird frozen

and holds it for fifty minutes without moving.

She has the triangle pressed against the wall

to circumnavigate

again and again.

She is first this time.

She answers one clue.

Hold the sprag tight.

She reads one page.

She lies in one bed.

She hears one old man snore.

She cannot sink into that one deep luxury.

She feels she can see what she sees in her mind

as concrete details as though she can touch absence

or the holes in poems or the sublime,

as though such things are as hard and as tough

as the tarsealed road at the top of the drive.
