In Trouble

slipped upon a galaxy
spring was here, a brick to the head
completely unexpected
welcome to the mudbrain world
discretely

pink on blue on tiger on midnight
fluttered by the subway mouth
an instant
excruciatingly long
distant but as close as clover
inside out the conservatory

crystallized
the twist, a brick to the head
& hearts in the air
green on fox on sugar on gold
so precious
this mudbrain dance
tangled up in galaxies
obviously
