Vision

Driving, probably a good sign
I’m in control—I never know

where I’m going—this time
I pulled over, looked up, saw
peacocks flying overhead—brilliant
blue sky—all eyes visible, tailfeathers
fanned, their plumage out for all to see—

I didn’t stop to count them.

Definition

Can you interpret
thirty-five years of marriage
as a semiotic wave?

Language is ever
changing and rearranging
itself to rescue firelight.
