As is a Projection

Djuturna has gone to oversee

the tractor and Pahn

stands nearby

     in a space that is                                          

a room                                                  

       a car

              a clearing at the edge                               

    of a murky wood                              

from whence comes Freega

smudged

          and humid                                                          

embracing and kissing him  

In the dusk    Pahn                            

is softened by her touch    but

     lets her slough from him                                            

worrying

that Djuturna will see them

and be jealous…

 …later

he looks up

and sees

unnatural patterns of light

         forming in a plane in the sky   

as if a projection

                                inexplicable
