Knight of Wands
1.
Remember rain–
when we met, it wasn’t raining.
2.
Unbreak the bottles one by one.
Unbreak them in the rain
from a car, reversing.
3.
Like vinegar,
amber in its crystal cruet.
4.
The sirloin and its slow fall
from the knife. The knife
and its gleaming.
5.
Red, the carpet supple as velvet
in the van. It moves through hills
like a sparrow in the dark.
6.
This is a museum.
Muscle and fat on bone,
water music and, finally, haze.

The stacking of these images gives a threatening, lonely feeling.
This is beautiful. I absolutely love 2 and 3.
