Happenstance: Dreaming of Mount Charleston
– after Yi Lu
I am a branch
of snowflakes sleep remember forget
eyes wide like branches
heavy round night by night
like a moon full of sheep counting
a branch of snowflakes like wool or knives
like a time too early yesterday –
maps from fingerprints one after
another pressed with forget
