pond of rocks // pond of rocks
a pond of rocks // upon whose
foundation a shat // ter rain falls
and while you were // reading this
catercorner, edge of // eye, peripheral
we sneak // on rat feet
on rat feet // scuttle scaffolds
to build or // crash or crash
we the loud // est shout
millennia built // magician hands
reckless // calculation
papier-mâché masks // watercolor thunderstorm
monster fearing // above the bed
myth minted daily // god cowering
about women // god? or just
