OFF A BALCONY NOT SEEN BEFORE


again, for ilya

(kabakov, with emilia)


on a train with no station

try to move into a future

where the colours are fresh

umitigated

or variations on the cloth of gold

or off a balcony not seen before

a nose dive by a sudden angel

escaping the loveliest of traps

you have laid for them all

will light be seen this way then?

do you see light this way now

that you have departed?

no longer in need of trains or of transit

or blind critics.

missing friends.

light as the fireflies.

farther away.
