A Face Made of Water

She looks out there on the Night

Yellow buzzing in Her

Metal and dangling Lights

Side-by-Side rows of Andalusian Horses

One row Black

the Other White

An Offering to the forgotten Street Gods

 

Elastic-Asphalt Swallows Elastic-Asphalt

The Metal clinkity-clink-clink

The Lights blinkity-blink-blink

Her Yellow Pulses like Breaths

Oh, the pleasures in the past!

 

A Face Made of Water

Changes with the Weather

 

Who will bear Witness to the Still Parade?

A Star?

A Flower?

An Atom Bomb?

An Individual?

A Clock?

 

It

Is Not

Her

Who Looks

But

The Night

That Looks

Her

Into

It
