Next
take flight

I saw

white smoke flow from his nostrils
rise
curl gently over his head

white dust innocent frosting
sit
on the table-top

clear fluid in a clear bottle
gleam
uncapped
from a prominent ledge

his eyes
fix       on
white flesh sex-no-matter
slip past his window.

he nodded to sounds of
Bird flying high

your problem, he said

is

White music on the brain
