Steve Mueske
Glitching Tomas
morning : the city is : lying prostrate
transparent : as a white hieroglyph that
remembers : the green sledge of
sea : the sun's painting : the sun has
eyes : in a playground : where gloves
black as tongues : lay : abandoned :
someone : is dreaming : someone
has fallen : into : the white blindness
of flickering faces : the quarantine
of icebound fields : somewhere
in the city : an unanswered telephone
rings and rings : like the plague
