Impressions III

i was considering how
within night’s loose
sack a star’s
nibbling in-

fin
-i-
tes-
i

ly devours

darkness the
hungry star
which
will e

tu-
al
-ly jiggle
the bait of
dawn and be jerked

into
eternity. when over my head a
shooting
star
Burs

(t
into a stale shriek
like an alarm-clock)
