$Poem that reads: FOR BURNING You're a witch, he told me once, but he meant it good. Then punched the windshield until it buckled, spiderwebbing around his fist. I thought I had the gift, but all I had was salt, black smudge, smoke. What lack, what trick. I casted shadows & aspersions, he punched the windshield until it buckled. Spiderwebbed veins thumping in his arm. His body was a gift, kaleidoscope of black, of oak. Lack of light, trick of shadow, power cast as poison. More than once I slipped into his bed when I belonged to another, vain jump into his hands, his gift of kaleidoscopic body. So many faces refracted in a cut glass of whiskey, so much noise. Once I slipped into his bed when I belonged to another, then another, and another. A madness of matrimonies, so many faces refracted in a cut glass of whiskey. Such bliss in the gift of his fist. I thought he was a home, but he was only sand, a ruin of waves, another, then another. An insanity of sorceries. You're a witch, he told me once, but I misunderstood.$

Ruins Require Belief
The road through the Holy Land
Is littered cities
ruin
Ash and potsherds
charred and
Trampled stone sand has overtaken The old stream and some army
Burned the olive grove low
I keep looking for all that wind
Takes
for example color
