(part of a sequence of poems called ‘loop’)

leap

leap into
fleckless
porcelain

wings pierce
balloons
once radiant birds

born in clouds
that now at last
are last to

the Persepolis
of your thighs
that lonely chrome

diaspora
of minutes
through chords

that were your clothes
flecking mysteries
my concept album riffs

but limited to the speed of light
there’s a stranger
who reveals

a leaf
that falls like
you
