if an inner landscape
rocking chair left in the rain
(if an inner landscape an inner deluge)
bed frame left in the rain
hillside specked with peasants walking their fields for luck
              
              the more  the    (blank)             (inside)
                                      the  vaster the 
                        branches  of the fallen tree 
              full of  grackles
what floats away
you knew ‘the shadow in the trunk was raving’
grandma’s china left in the rain
who is thunder in you 
                                      after  the flash
              who counts  the seconds
feel the dropping pressure like somebody constantly arriving  ![]()
   but for us they
   if an inner landscape
