1. I splashed some colores from a tumbler


2. and smeared the drab world with emotion.


3. I charted on a dish of jelly


4. the jutting cheekbones of the ocean.

1. Upon the scales of tin salmon


2. I read the calls of lips yet mute.

      And you, could you have played a nocturne

      with just a drainpipe for a flute?
