Stars of the Trees and Ponds
O blue and nerveless stars. The night and the distance of the lake. The lake: mosquitoes, the uni-inter air—the pond of towering mosquitoes we float through. Float: the tents as we use the lumpy earth under a blanket. Cars: the
blanket of cars facing your vision of stars and thoughts never concealed to the lake. Conceal: Thoughts are never hidden, the mosquito cries to the lake. And brings the lake’s invisible man
Invisible: a woman rises into the lake and out of the lake Pond: you are left in the tent and see the beige pond. Leak: a woman stands over you. Woman: the pond leaks. You hear it.
