for Wheels

Sky grizzling to scorched earth.
The garden rill stippled with water-
striders, hundreds of inky spasms. (So
this is where the blurts of rage are
registered.) They snap against the
current, leaving quick-
silver gasps in their wakes;
then back as if panic were progress
as if nowhere were somewhere
imperative. Light
shivers...
luffs.
