there is this short shining sun
on this, not yet the shortest day
the shape of things bent light
oozing through blinds
kicking up dust
reconstituting stars

boxing punch drunk under a laughing moon
as sunrise rewrites itself crisp
over yet another diseased landscape

a Saturday stepped out of time
this warming December when once again
the world’s end doesn’t suit our sense of fashion
