Clip 24
among the graves
marked guest
of houses of wanderers
scattered in light
this afternoon is the same time
every afternoon
to pass through again
myself tomorrow
will seem
the same as yesterday’s
perfect hour
to pass
to name
but everyone’s
houses
shuddering
under flags
remain between
gestures
all things
in form
in faces
