Some Worlds for Dr. Vogt XVI
The path of a snake on water –– a line
natural to the word. With time
the line wrests itself from the branch,
from lightning, from the path of the bug
coming for the corpse. The bug in your
starched shirt: a phantom
touching a nerve. A world in a flash
of contours, but without shape.
The contour of a wave or of wind
but not its path –– a shape you can
somehow signify in a straight line.
The margin tightens: a pain
grows dull. The swimmer wades
into the water.
