Alley & Diner
Joins the in-progress chase.
Stumbles. Falls on palms. Gets up.
Twitching in sleep no kiss
Behind. Beats ground to enter
Ground. Tables beneath chairs, on fours.
Balks at door, steel with brown paint.
Balks at steel suit
coins missing gray wallet identity cards. Remembers
who is it that
remembers -lines forgets- lines
who? orders
them in prison remembers
each bar frames an etch in light relief? Remembers
Light. Small space quite inside
Room. No dark.
Arches through storeroom
Fire. Twists. Feathers flour-sacks.
Brushes across flour-sacks
body. Aching through EXIT.
By taking whip axe baton billy
Makes taps. Snatches from glass
No face name other side
Clear?
Adjusts chains.
Anchor, yes?
Ears made small square hole
made in self.
Motions to self.
Motions. Braiding
The spotlight
The point vanishing
Narrowly from pursuit.
