TranspositionI.

The army of Winter roars like an empty stomach
as the wind rattles along the weeds.

Women, sheathed in veils of white vertigo,
march in single file towards the ocean
with a gaze that lullabies their ghosts,
fingertips humming like obsidian birds
trapped in midflight, faint shiver
in the distance.

Daddy, what are these freckles of sky
skittering across the lawn?

airborne and weather-beaten, their reflections

Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light
