On the order of

In silicon spans, over gaps guarded by the boundary
conditions of physics and last september, when I 
called you by your name and wouldn't look at you
I didn't mean my words, only their emptiness
and in cathode rays there were little sparks but now
pixels clean everything and decompose them down to
single-colored boxes for light

I am always amazed by how much green goes into faces
and how much yellow is in a summer sky

kited inch by inch against the wind would the stars remember
would they recognize old dust transformed and tracked
through void and pyre and plow and finally beaten into
clearing pipes to track away enough lines for finally fetching
lifting, and heaving to
