when the last dormouse has been flung from the last high window


a branch:
and the claws of the bird
will loosen
when that woman reaches the fountain
when her shadow
darkens the water
before she sits to read
when i've twisted your bracelet
another 5 times
when the white blind
in that window is unrolled
when that yellow door opens
when your painted mouth
next says perpetual
when the infant near the kiosk wakes
when the tall man
and the small man
reach the gate
or at the opening of the octopus eye?
oh the branch is empty
