The bugs dance at different / depths of field /
consider / how many frames does it take / to
animate a character falling / out of a tree / into a
river / now the people glide past me at the train
station / heavens doors will not open for you / the
cherry blossom leaves are trampled upon / turns
out: the kind of love you will receive / will come
from a feeling of being waited on / thought about /
the knock of a bee / on the other side of the window
/ wakes you / brings you out there / forces you to
look into the pastures / rolling waves of focus.

Cherry tree creates frames / through which / a
window / through which / a set of hands peel a
carrot / pewter plane beneath / expands out
through the house / meters away from the relatives
/ the task informs a truth / breached barrier repairs
itself / the material cost is high / and cannot be
outstanding / lost limbs of the tree circle another
scene now / right half of an open sky / takes me
down the road / into the eastern wall / made out of
transparent tablets / etched / with shining lights
posted behind / blooms high around every
individual letter.
