Paper

A lantern

my shoes

my arms.

My hands.

My feet.

A long coat.

My legs.

On a Thursday.

I will pick up my hammer.

Paper

a lantern.

Clouded judgment.

Blue jeans.

A talisman.

Iron.

Matches:

Fire

Air.

Silk necktie.

A blue bottle,

That is lying beneath the red curtain

and in draws the hammering.

And the cutting.

Paper

a lantern.

an empty pack of cigarettes

And the ring on my finger.

The yellow sun

that fades the Blue to Gray.

My fingers.

A guest.

A glass.

A name.

Paper

a lantern.

One Red Flower

Yellow curtains.

Blue skies.

bent in the knees.
