Night Language by Jay Duncan

POND WATER 002

There’s a secret where the wires nest
tight-braided and muscular, softly fizzing
you can’t hear it
What came first – tomorrow’s future or
a puddle of diesel?
Night language: zip-tied, snaking, coils right through
lapping up the steel light
Tonight baby I am garbled and telescoping
When the house lights come up
She’ll glean an appetite off the floor with her phone light, as if
under infrared we’re not so many flickering sprites
of radiation
flaring off into space
