A Poem For The Ghost
   
He knots not the river
Laughs with wild deer
Flaneur of the moon

He fills a sink with cement
Destroys beds  
Melts diamonds in the snow

He is the son
He is the fever
Veins putrid with silver

He runs fingers by roses
Blood mirrors tattered with lace
Bubbles of hermes soap

He is a curtain
The plastic bag floating past strange balconies
Ship of dead cells

He names white explosions
Liquid heated by spheres
Surfaces radiant 

He knots not the river
He is a tree, he lives!
Ghost for the vacant room
