Sensual topography: rusted wheelbarrow,
twisted, shivering with tall, dead weeds.
Traverse a planetary surface with me,
in minuscule capsule: wombed illusions.

Not a sigh in this intermittent breeze;
wheels within wheels (infinite regress) roam;
beyond recession's dim, green parallels,
indwelling void returning. 'Where have you been?'

'Behind the bumble-bee's fumbling blunders,
behind the pigeon's habitual insistence,
behind the tinnitus hiss of your very continuance
and the fickle flap of the paper you inscribe.'
