Is that the curvature of the earth you say
watching the flaring lights of planes somewhere
in the south
southwest
pointed.
I can't answer
I don't know
I can lie
not lie so much
make something up that makes me
seem to know
somewhere in the night something is scratching
what is that you say
why it's a dumb-show
a fantoccini
of flies
see how the one holds his forelegs
over the eyes of the
other so tender
corkscrewing into the air about them
let them pull the full breath of this air outwards
as an accordion's bellow might push
into the brest of the horizon
and sound and sight swell and meet
and the world's womb is made lavish and sated
seated in a theatre of strings
all I can say
is that things happen in the sky
and we can watch them.
