the smatterings revealed on the
tan vertical valences of the vinyl blinds inside the house
were cast by the sun as shadows
Rorschachs
never to be made heads or tails of
to be stared upon
numb mindlessly
a feral cat had sprayed the
outer screen door a
phantom working its pheromone
making its eloquent statement of Maleness and Space
sudden Evidence
It Was
like blue cigar
smoke churned in the wind a lithe spider
web drifting on transparent tides
piquing consciousness
making wonder where
the scent may possibly have
originated
as if anything needed Origin
It Was
that should be enough
