Pigeons peck at chicken scraps
& no barks respond as sirens pass
Nature now dry trees & replication
& dead birds keep flattening
on paintings—
Mistranslation is missing
the brushstrokes.
One visible fingernail like a nevus in a pine tar sky
& a finger sweep in the public frosting
Venus roller skates while steering the stroller
& the dog walker limps & has twenty-four legs.
Awkward pedestrians overlook
our mannered postures as we regard a solar eclipse
before a gazing apparatus
& continue these steps despite exploded heavens
anatomies of rats in the street—morsels & a mouse remain—
light particles
Perhaps for orphaned armoires & what they could contain
& ex-library memoirs expunged from the system
Nervous gleaners take a sleepwalk
around midnight & take a gander at the air
I diagram the firmament & note twelve elephants
steadying the atmosphere
