Don't Think What

There is the moonlight window
glass slightly warped
                              almost ripples
              in the light

that kind of carelessness
it isn’t so easy to master

a detour thru the Amina Mundi
(you have to downshift to take that corner
skidding to a stop in the marble
ruins just outside the grove of neon

transfers itself to rainy days at the beach

An iron slice of tequila will briefly
steady the hand & eye
              what there is to apprehend
threaded as such
                              w/what appears to be
the translucent silver entrails
of pearls
