EARTH METAL GONE FANCY THROUGH THE HOVERING

Light throws a shadow of the picture outside his hospital window
a bowllike meadow where sliced watermelons and pineapples made heaps
spirited more than 100 million sandstone sentinels with white caps

rough, branching projections red and gold in warm morning shadow

terrified to cross the street impregnated with graphite
body could trigger renegade as a blind man again
the sweet-tasting metal to turn on the lights in the evening.
