Malevich Lying In State Before The Black Square

[on a well known photograph of the artist, Kazimir Malevich]

is there a portal of banked up moonlight somewhere

for the poet of the black snows finally

somewhere where the square is squared

with the puzzle of the severe child unraveling

into frameless Light?

Walking Toward The Square Of Malevich

walking toward the square of Malevich

I bound my hair with constellations

my heart was filled with

thorns

your name wasn't written on

the wind

but it was

it is-

while I stand under the

moon's singed eyebrow

in a circle of

weeping light
