A lock with no mouth.
A knot with no why.
An eye with no iris.
A needle with no eye.
A cage with no caesuras
Between its bars.
Five little fireflies
Trapped in a jar.
A razor with no edge.
A ledge with no drop.
A sign with no meaning.
A flute with no stop.
An arm with no veins.
A gust with no wind.
No gouge in the lid
To let the breath in.
A baby with no navel.
A breast with no nipple.
A proof with no theorem.
A blast with no rubble.
A house with no windows.
A house where I’ll stay.
Five little fireflies
Don’t make it a day.
A house with no nostrils.
A house with no feet.
A house with no mouth
That can smile or eat.
Meet me there, won’t you,
In your daydream of choice?
A vial with no blood.
A tube with no voice.
