The other garden...
enter from the garden
moving on the carpet
moving on the carpet
he touches all your furniture
crawls under your closet door
investigates your wardrobe
moves his arm across
moves his arm across
your memories
substituting light
and heat and silence
he erases last year’s
he erases last year’s
conversations with the stars
changes the contents of your mirrors
invents an alternative
palette for your crystal
scrapes his nails across brocade
scrapes his nails across brocade
revealing tangled threads
like contours on a map
he polishes your tables
he polishes your tables
his brilliance clings to cutlery
till spoons become large
bright incisionsall
across the grain
a weight of gold and heathe
a weight of gold and heathe
stops burning
at the flesh of your neck
you are the only shadow in the room
