Empty Form Resides Over Dusk’s Heart

Mark Fleury

Empty form resides over dusk’s heart,

Where a television
Is giving birth to a tree, wrapped in clouds.

Mother, holding her baby,
Has the face of a star.
Her tears fall through

A hole in the floor that’s in the shape of a crucifix
And make their way out

Of a stormy sky. The horizon recedes
To a misty tide gliding in,

And outside the screen the dark tree
Is in the middle of the living room.
Pink ringing telephones
Hang over the limbs
By their coiled cords.

The holes in the listening
And receiving ends are in
The mouthpiece of a gas mask’s
Exhale only.

The pink’s also in a seashell,
Held up to the ear of the gray-faced head.

Fishing off the edge of a dock
From a sitting position, he is the vanishing
Wall, jumping into the water with his green
Rubber pants, holding his pink telephone

Flower. And I, Angel as outer
Thought, seeing with the eyes and possessing
The brain that’s inner feeling,
Can sense the beam that’s beyond both of us,
Shot straight down from high mind.
And in Light content, the vanishing wall,
Splashing in the flash like the Creature
From the Black Lagoon, is treading out to sea.
