“If a street is named for a tree,
it is right that flowers
bloom purple and feel like cats,
that people are leaves drifting
downhill in morning fog.Everyone came outside to see
the moon setting like a perfect
orange mouth tipped up to heaven.Now the cars sleep against curbs.
If I write a letter,
how will I make it long enough?There is a place to stand
”
where you can see so many lights
you forget you are one of them.
