wind skirts the wharf
locks me up in whirling
circles, circles.
lost as I am, girl, speck
a sugared dot on earth
the dirt rises
two soft eyes blink out,
a head of curled fur.
nesting leaves, thoughts.
travelling through the glass
I push my hands out.
the air. oh the air.
paper songs, brief singing.
your poems fall silent;
all I hear is flat
flattered notes.
Look over your shoulder for the hustle of words.
