A toy village,
drowned in a
heron’s tear.
A flea
explores
its trinket world,
remembers nothing
but the leap
from fire
to ice.
Wizardry lays waste
in the blink
of a rodent eye.
A tenth of
Europa scooped
in a scarf,
pearl-shavings
to blizzard
the cathedral’s
downfall, crumpling
like foil,
the glut
of caught light
leaking into
nothingness. Wax
pools its bald
yellow to panhandle,
boot, hooked
nose, barnstorm pig.
A continent
watered with
a drunkard’s tears.
