Roof-mounted
Mechanism presides
Over red dusk in a
Garden under eyes
That close, open,
Close and one
Feels silent wheels
Within wheels.
Winter lens, lifted
From its tub, uncovers
What we set it out
There for --thirst
In migration, lone
Outdoor foragers
Crawling flat on
Frozen earth, cats--
A tub between birth
And rebirth of seasons,
A good tub for
All these reasons.
