a group of girls from Minnesota

                             or               black mascara

Not trees trace so       just kids we    hung
slim buckets  of chokecherries from our wrists

in neighboring galaxies   Giant Star Factories  take control
composed of cold hydrogen gas and dust   

7,000            light years from earth
slender-toed geckos                  step onto the moon  

On the road between 2 baptisms and a shower they rang 
to say   shallow water      the mouths drop open

not where you stand but how long you can
stand standing there
in constant hypothesis

the trees are passersby
mercurial
damp light
flat orange moon
velvet navy-blue sky

fire berries     
from here we see the beautifully attired drive tough Ford pickups
the oncoming
organizing principle
brushed out

the dancers take turns leaping over the bonfire    into
Qué pasa USA?

haircuts in London are really pretty backward
London—you are definitely not going to have a manicure there!
in L.A. toes must match the hands or else just don’t leave the house
in N.Y. it’s more brunette

Outside      a refrigerator       floats   in the blackness         shiny amid sharp stars

& the turtle who holds up the world        holds up
the world
