the last night: under water

   the last night: under water

 

the thick ropes of rain

dangled down from the eaves

and flew into the wide windows

picking up the canvas in a twirl

 

Lennon in the crystals of light

and the river like black glowing lava

reflecting the lights but stretching their white

the crowns and shoulders of tree up with navy

 

that closed room with its own air

pull-towel like we used to wipe our skates

in the dark red alcove, light shining above the door

thin webs visible along the windowpanes

 

fingers closed on the wet branch

the leaves green like taut skin, luminous

hands pulling the liquid tail of skirt inside

flowing down silky moist black to where we came from
