places: wind against the window/"deep beetle" (?)

it's not a question of what i have to say

just that it gets said

in some form or another

god, it doesn't matter,
doesn't matter what the name was
or where the discoloration lay--

within what silent vise
the heart beat
the rolling blood
through the vein

whether the window smashed
or just
disintegrated
into a
jagged fulfillment
of some inner form

and the color of the rhodedendron
pressed
against the glass
green leaves, brown,
both were so vivid


whether icarus fell
or dived through the rushing light-filled sky
he hit

speculation means
so little
in the aftermath
of that impact

that is why i left.
