in your father’s dream
you play
the moon
with the tender caresses
of an octopus in love
predicting the future
we comb the beach
for gold
what ill omens are read
in the plumes of a brushfire
covered in bird liver
the bear becoming
a diphthong
after the circus
Rustam returns
to his gilded cage
with the clowns
feeding seeds to your heart
a paper ark sails
down the drain
out of existence
the ghost population's
scum ring
one fiat currency
to rule them all;
a moonless sky
