Bricolage This muffled cognition These slick asphalt streets The circuitous hum of electric motors Temperature always temperature Heartbeat Breathe in breathe out Breathe in breathe out Sheaves of newspaper Tumble and slap the road A cool wind from the coast Promises promises promises Here inside where I live The newsprint is unreadable The road impassable The rain incessant dubiously Striking the next possibility Into awareness Breathe in breathe out Outside where I live One step follows another One reason becomes the next reason This rain carried here by gods with buckets Dissolving icons Obscuring metaphors Revealing the black bird in the branches Darkening the shadows In the corners of the room Peter Ciccariello Rhode Island, USA http://invisiblenotes.blogspot.com/ http://poemsfromprovidence.blogspot.com/ <http://invisiblenotes.blogspot.com/>
