[In the very night of movement where I]
In the very night of movement where I
sought a sequential self –
The sea as blood, thought as
Earth that changes the sea
Changes the fishes in it
for the fortunes of landscapes
are in the fantasies
of architecture
H — taught to sing
siren scales by ear
by rote or immersion
abroad
In the discrepancy of double exposure
Casts of light crack time’s microscope
