crane
it will build itself
lift heavy things off the ground
pulleys and levers
arraignment
an accusation
in front of a tribunal
reading of charges
we are sisters you and I . . .
with beak and talons
the harpy tears out your heart
she can’t be destroyed
CUBE
filled with deadly traps
unaware government cogs
prime number puzzles
candles
left burning all day
house not set ablaze somehow
a forgotten flame
nocturnal
the songs of the night
those awake in the darkness
chorus of creatures
