Screen Presence

My archival witness
Will blink
And do that one
White as something receding into the dashboard
Driving surf
Crazy apple business
Tomorrow will recede as well
The looming lacuna looms still
Interstitial neverness knows not
The distance between absence and presence
Zero and one
Fractal neverness complete in its invisibility
Wonder ceases to amaze
Basement mold
Reverberates and bounces your walls
Impervious mirage, my reality
Screen, my witness
Savage sentiment
Uncertain presence

Poem 67

6 7 7
virtual light looms
like shadow and cat
fly on a mat
no.
prosthetic eye
illegal cyborg
when light comes
there comes platitude
goes girl with specter
eyeprick and thread continent
winnowing appetites for old and dry wood
the miracle of digestion, and then what?
Like harry and the glove,
Peonies arrive compact and miniaturized
Try pretense
Imitation is never what it seems
Accretion is also never what it seems
Manly secretion is but a mutant word
Body without body
