Telemetry

        –the book of Tarot cards opens–

Cool top blown by Duncing

laughing, kind and broken open by streamerrs……………….

couched in the hallucinatory feel of a second adoles.

Truth is: “I have found my opening, and I am going to take it—”   Hannah say.

Ankles grab dark,
bloom: dovetail in a ball of whos,
knowing sweet, little pieces mean something.

Ownership of shoes. Hanging boatflats, half-mast, sweet ships, turning.

Then it finds. Melody from a café on the Square near Kungsgatan, crossed twice to find
milk. Once, wine. Another, rice.

Stronghold the heart in a paper bag, bound with string and string and string:
disparate trees, more similar than apparent, tightened around water like a neck. Wool and
quiet, beautiful cold surrounds autumn like an army of loveliness

moving back and forth in light. Goöteberg
spires against sky, bone and crowngilled, enchanted from behind

spooling feathers of optimism in falling beams—
        bywaters, canals. Spring

reaches position, orbits light and dark
        on the head of a pin

in and out of sleep. Hung over the bed’s edge, dizzy, we become something else,
different than we divined, bodies in summer sheets with hope

found, stabilizing into gas, the physics of an umbrella charged with rain
in another place, at home

windows, cards, shoes divinations:
        all suits coming forward out of gloom, into weather
