detail a day 246: summer solstice
in a year, the sun's analemma
traces an infinity sign in the sky:
solstice at the peak of each loop
and two equinoxes at the cross

As we argued, laughed and drank in the other lit room,
the cat in the window watched silently
two rabbits graze in the dark yard.

All afternoon I wrote on the porch watching the orioles
chase the blue jay from their nest,
so the oriole can only be hours dead in the alley,
his small eyes are already eaten.
Even if i buried his bright body in lime,
dug it back up for the bones,
and soaked the skeleton in bleach
to wear the white skull at my throat,
the talons at my wrists,
the flaring feathers still would be silent.

I tune into the station just in time to catch a voice over a breakbeat saying
It is our function as artists to make the spectator see the world our way not his way.

summer heat presses the green from honeysuckled hillsides,
swells the air with sweet that sticks in the back of my throat

The couple beside me with their feet in the fountain
argues for an hour. Over the rush of water,
I can only make out the cadences of defense and attack.
They leave for the museum, and when they return,
she asks me to take their picture. I say yes,
tell them to sit where the sun will light their faces.
