Half a moon
hanging in the sky
Is it waning
or waxing?
Allow me to consult
the Chinese calendar
& the tide
book
& that look in her eyes
Reading east
to west:
bamboo, Los
Sinners, a leap from the pagoda roof
into the ocean
below
circled by air, murder &
other
extravangant technologies…
eye of the Dragon
tooth & nail
The alchemy of
the midnight tide
or the stained glass catching fire
at sunset
same
difference
“Ain’t it a
shame” the Medicine Man used to say
speaking of
atomic theory
accelerated
particles yakking it up as the music plays
like flying saucers
getting dizzy
the invasion
postponed
