Round House

.

Levitating
from bed
Pahn floats

Along the side of the old
house

The center decomposing
ceremonially round
and filled
with moonlit ash

Djuturna appears
large
and lying
across the monument
fish-like

For a moment Pahn is close
to her blue-grey thigh
soft
in the denim
of coastal hills

the inside of it
crowding out his field
of vision

He pets
and calms

the outer edges
dissolving peacefully
beside the cotton
cloudy warmth
.
