ink flowers in a paper vase

through these pages i have thumbed
(see my history of paper cuts)
to look for flowers in vases

but all i've found are crumbs
of feasting kings or sluts
and questions in reluctant spaces

i hawk by day and owl by night
i tread the bare bark of trees
to hold the limits where

i hang upon the breeze
and nail my solemn purpose there:
find the words or lose my sight
