Where did these bricks
come from –
perhaps they were trees
and olive branch
burned
in a santuary window.
As though to throw off
the jack-in-the-box image,
the mouth of an auditorium
the Keynote is the inversion of a ghost
– what do they aspire to?
A tree, a lime –
burning with seeds –
burning in the window.
You do not exist.
You do not place the flowers
on this four-legged
coffee table.
