In trying to negotiate

by Raquel Balboni

In trying to negotiate the mind and relate him to space,
the circle earth and the other ones, the line will not continue
on, the one i want to draw tonight into the dirt on the ground,
but it breeds into a graph

Quickly — come see the little trees getting chopped down
where did you go in your cowboy jeans, you must have gone
thought i to be the one to flee, but we were both spinning in fate
unusually wired together with the calico horses in the wide
open space they open their mouths to speak and an apple flies in
sugar cubes too, and a house from heaven
