THE PARAPET

In the force of a second
he realizes there is a bounty
on beautiful hats
                      and gregarious children

Hoisting his bell-book and his lariat

sketching maps of infamous
accuracy
the gadfly lays its eggs

in his third eye and he
is blinded to magick

.

The carnival heals
and fills the day with green things

brocading land
for tranquil ceremonies.
