девочка

send a thousand russkyas
from a hundred villages
and a Nikon D70


turn up their heads and let flee
onto th empty fields
into 1/1000th
of a shutter

i look around
th human disco is in my head

where natural light is adequate

history has red-eye as of dawn


heavier than i dreamt
walking onto th empty dancefloor

out of the darkroom
into speedlights & blind thrown profiles

( it's all going on in me
so you know

a perpetual state of internal confession
all over and over in a single

down th road of stones
hills of russian words are blown

deeper & deeper into th evening villages
of sweet hay & heavy air

passing by my strange language
caught in a ripe young jaw
looking for a change

was once taking pictures
w/ her in a barn ,
th field danced on in complete darkness
to th clang of distant cowbells

under-exposed beneath a dirty blonde moon ,
trees gave th impression of clawing
deep scratches in closed centuries

th walls of th barn are charcoal now
rubbed over and over by th winds of hand ; my has since
traced her blackening edges ; each eye w/o a lens ;

3 images per second
on some empty floor
the clock takes of it's dress
and poses
