You have gone on
again into Casa Video
in your pajamas
& forgotten the name
for whatever cassette tape
could have been brought
home. A handful
of popcorn in your teeth
& the desert
screaming its summer
through the streets, lined
white with orange
blossoms. Your
hesitant steps. A hand
full of popcorn
in the breeze & good
titles for what happens
when we all go off
into the sepia-toned
mountains. Our notion
of silence & what
sayings belong to
the self. A lone wire
hanger in a closet
holding a pair of pants
that can't be thrown out
or given away or worn
again. What can you
say to that door hiding it?
Or what can you quit
saying--pass through
me, too? The moon hung
in the day looks just
out of place, high
& blank in the sky. You know
nothing could suffice.
