circle releases air
dust of chalk tampons the gaps between cobblestones
Narcissus is bathing now in the shallow waters
drop-drip-drip-drop
clicks are desynchronizing clocks
tic-tic-tac-tic-tac-tac
scorpion eats the vane
cuckoos are dead but their chirps echoe;
"King Midas has donkey ears!"
then rolls twelve orange marbles
the thirteenth falls in a carnation
so soft that it breaks, self vaporizes
leaving behind pearl earrings
penumbra of the veins
fleshly ego weeps marbles
innocence is nonsense
