maureen alsop

A jade sift of light caught beneath skin; breath's texture on windowglass; geography is the unsettled border -- intrepid thickets out of which sleep's remains are summoned. We have been caught a long time gazing at an ink the body once remembered. Home, when there is no home. Speculations on god eliminated of accident.
