Hung on the wall like an ornament
Impossible hydraulic palm trees
Impossible hydraulic palm trees
rattling
in the night on Beach Street
their several garlands hoist
ensigns
of light & proportion

moist
lips press stained glass
begging
if you want me to look

I can’t tell you what I say to the
stars
at night because it comes from a
place
where there is no language
&
no tune to carry it home
