DETAIL

 

 

Actually the idea of representing

putting one foot where the other

can't possibly go has always

seemed fragile at best

        and as for this

        standing in for always,

        the rowboat funding serpentine

        darknesses, even what won't

        change can't be said to be

        other than it looks like

        to us as we account for it,

        leaving the position of auditor

not to say guarantor up for grabs like

stars on a windy night, and any and all

vestiges of allegiance in tracks made

by snowshoes, of by and for the moment's loss
