WHERE WE SLEEP

Harvesters came

for the hay

 

Between the icon’s window

and the sun tugged down

 

Birds returned

from the field’s 

 

non-Euclidian

horizon

 

silent

at Vespers

 

in night nests

sheltering Wanderers.

 

*

Enemies camped

in the woods

 

Taking the archetypes of dreams

out on patrol

 

Any thought

of sulfur, salt, and mercury

 

Gave territory away

for pyrite’s foolish likeness.

 

Intelligence avoids capital,

Stares down shame.

 

*

Know doubt

no problem

 

Hear and see

imagination

 

How we got here

how we left


Two stories shifting

angled perspectives

 

In either meaning

intending neither
