"Between Missing and Gone."
Fuel rapture.
One: Yes.
The crisscrossed fingers spread open, a fissure,
a breathing disorder, a language of yes, of brush fire.
They hablar de usted de tu espalda,
towards the first shrill pulse.
Recognizable appetite.
Recognizable frustration.
Floorboards, marigolds, dividing light
from an extravagant fireplace.
Among other things, catastrophe and delight.
Two: and.
To vary or burn variously, a crisscrossed finger
spread open.
Drawn, a bridge or curtain or fissure, a breathing disorder.
What is not sanctity but shush?
A language of yes, of brush fire, of entrances and exits,
trances.
They hablar de usted de tu espalda, burnt voraciously,
cobbled, flagging towards the first shrill pulse.
The first snow melted, raptured.
Recognizable appetite.
Recognizable aperture.
Your lips echo, two lips of frustration.
Floorboards, marigolds, butter the fog.
Drag in the fog quietly, dividing light
from an extravagant entrance.
Tequila, cricket, cigar, fireplace.
Among other things, novelty, ten fingers, a nod.
Among other things, catastrophe, and delight.
Three.
Ruptured aperture.
Quickly, variously, this frontier, this finger,
curtains across a point or plane of disorder.
Departure.
A window or a mouth shush.
Yes, or stance.
An acceleration or red trance.
Tu espejo te reflejo.
You [? glass ?] voraciously towards this raptured puddle
of dawn.
Fractured appetite.
Tulips, hydrogen, fisted and primary, and not gold,
but gone.
Gone quietly into a certain extravagant hour when
you cricket, refracted and palpable,
among ten distinct varieties of hunger, this one delight.
The denotative sky through its frame
is sky, is, in the absence of birds, lacking depth.
Dearth as the girdle of color, renown
that asks against a horizon.
A color is orange, segmented softer.
Un color colorado en su color inventado.
In the absence of a propeller is unsliced, they say.
To make the real realer in the sky, is everything but blue.
Or located where the where is.
Or undulant when allowances have been made.
A form of impersonal that doesn't exist in English,
allowed to butterfly quickly over a swift expanse of sky.
An expense, the detonative sky beyond a frame,
to beg a question as a bird might.
Necessary expenditures.
