PERTURBATION
In the quiet dream
under sour light
down the steps
In the quiet dream
with the bird on the fence
and the damp leaves
In the quiet dream
ambling down the road
to the white chickens
Quietly, as though damp lay
over a dozen broken stones
I blink and lean on the bench
It isn�t a dawn wind circling
The master�s house.
