a)


Used [i]non-

places[/i] 2

capture the flow

of ur response

battering smol air

wi a long see

-thru knot


b)


Took pictures

wowed via glass

in ur stretch of space

(capsule-object) coz

ur ammonitic front

turned wi cup 2 face

the metal eye in my blind hand


c)


Window opened 2 far

as if a door

2 sell the light from

in the morning

this night &

u flew to the concrete

side of the sill


II


Albino barked wi lichen fans
