ABBEY FREDERICK


                                     



IMAGE OF ASCENSION




                          after Paul Klee



under the afterglow of a rising
cloud of sparrows

a jet trajectory makes a mark—

—curve like a valley
like a wing.
I return from a long walk
through the floating world.

welcome back,

you say. your eyes
trace me; I cannot make
an arrow of your gaze.
