doped up on hills

tableaux of

four pencil pines in santa hats

which someone stood on a ladder to install

red nails on a manicule

handpainted on the truck’s cab door

red handprints at Phyllis Frost

traceries of lightning in Yorta Yorta country

from a passenger window

too much vision ‘at speed’

low band of horizon light

cracking the stereo open for the last 120

pulse entry outside time

but fanging thru it
