Every night before
I die I hear the rectangled window whir,
Whir and whistle and hum and laugh and love.

I imagine the magnetic mind behind
It's calm visage jot,
lamenting symphonies where
oceans, valleys, plains, converge.

That penniless black box is the richest man in rooms
A lonely bachelor doused
In paraffin and plastic,
Wide eyes walking a raw carpet in
formation.

Fine Scholar, ever over indulged.
Rooted and submerged.
With Tentacles as meticulous messengers that tug and
beg for volume.

Wonder I
If the smooth metal face in my bedroom sings out of love
Or out of longing
for a line like a thread and a binary lullaby.
