WEAK POTION OF INVISIBILITY (EXCERPT)

Experimental moonlight is your new thing.
Dispel urethra crystals.

Fly buzzing in billiards room skims
substratum intruding light

aglow–that miscellaneous kind of light–
under bathroom door.

Draw your mantle cavity influx of spare
miscellany, carpetbagger!

Do you remember spy cameras attached to
where two rays meet?

Clockless flash: miscellaneous light meets
forgettable light. Sconces

shadow hidden wall entrances laid by
bricklayers. Strange creations

charm outside provocateurs stalling quietly
in staggering columns.

Forgetting and miscellany collide here–
this light meeting dapples

shade and silhouette of oak on your
consternated brow. Sweating

tiny tree leaf-shaped shadowy impressions.
This might be nature.

Is your ghost driving the ghost of your old
truck? Transit bodach.

Trickster light shatters the harmony of
miscellany and forgetting.
