david in paris

walks out of pictures 

but he has no feet - escape from infinity

footless and fancy free - rid of immortality

ankles greet the dew

time turns upside down

rusty towers gravitate toward groundlessness

mermaids climb from hell

ribbing heavenly hosts with the devil's high heel 

baby's breath growing

in dead fields of broken glass, marbles, eyes, and brooch

assemblages framed

as the drizzled darkness falls upon rhinestone fields
