(courtyard piece)

where light chimes at the strike of each hour

where sharpness shifts into stillness

where crescent moon burns into view

where night-blown cactus breaks into bloom

where an overheated pup enters the stream of infinity pool

where atoms of dissolving ice cascade across a warm windshield

where visitors top out void & refill foramen under shelter of steel

where intervals of space & light draw sudden apertures of awning
