Traces
Where Things Would Do
Movies used to be about people in rooms
the detectives go in peoples’ houses
portrait of a palm tree tied to the sea
Mirrors in films don’t belong to the same space
movies show bodies in empty space
what’s not inside the machine that is
All of the letters never work
stretch of water tacked to the top of the lawn
the police in such places are usually late
Someone looking for something would have to look inside
a strip of lemon across a plastered landscape
there is the story of a man who ran out of ink
People at the same film report great differences
distances want you to cover them
a photo of a nebula taken through a red veil
The detective shrinks in his own estimation
there is just no end to these interior lands
a man in a costume leans against his costume
The person who looks takes his own portion
one who’ll stay in motion with no further mention
an impression of glass against the bent sky
