Translated from Russian by J. Kates
veins of time
in blood clots of empty dreams
pale blue nodules
under skin on the arms
i find in a moment
turning halflives into a night game
following a pathfinder
a beanbag—quiet as a mouse
smarter than smart
God forgive me
pale blue veins
force interlaced
fingers to pull the trigger
a stupid dream
the discolored indian scalp
passed off as a wig
a red heart
sent out pale blue roots into the hands
spreading out like a helpless
tongue
