there wasn’t any palm reader who would pretend
to see anything in the basement. ordinary men who thought
the whole thing would be amusing always had them -
there was no one I truly believed in.

an accident arrived and lived on soup.
he was singing and hurrying home,
the same as I. the thief looking back
and disappearing.

summer tiger, stepping outward,
died in my care. every detail melted
beside the woodstove -
an abandoned post office had been waiting.

every detail looking back
and disappearing.
