How to Approach the Volume of a Place
_____________________________________________

Pa’s home was up—the devil was down

and making meals from the back of soup cans
(bound to be) utensil

(slip)
trellis

write around the rickshaw

complete transcription: knees, orange curtains
circular after
dust biting
secret of trying
could be sister again

how quiet it is when they stop

rental space
darker and dancing
(ask)
mistaken k’s

they’ve already run over three cranes
tram

eye level with the cake. nice for awhile. my monkey friend.
back door and gazelles—wild dogs and hoofed
shallow moat
chainlink walking in

she knew his hand years before

where she is
(assuming)
swingable
not apparent it’s real
no ice

wire we didn’t finish
see becomes mine
waiting no one says

bruised ankles
transparent—re-enactment
my wagon as hostage

twine
gun

nothing about walking—relocation

nothing about the house
cheese entitlements

burning papers
most everyone
what that meant
