from The Maze
There are no words in the maze, no signs
pointing a way through the puzzle that daily distends,
infecting mountains and fields
and all the city's membranes. And like a city,
what was loved and entered, or ignored
dilapidates, an eyesore.
Inside these wincing walls, things are not
what they seem. I must be more watchful
what they seem. I must be more watchful
for what rises
within a lidless dark that never splits,
as I pass again through its twisted routes,
as I pass again through its twisted routes,
mislaid perspectives.
