at night these same boulevards fill with snow / lancers and dancers pass a poisoned syringe, / as you wrote, writing of death in the snow

.
it is scribbled across each body / impossible even to name a word / look, you would say, how the sky falls / at first gently, then not at all

.
(michael palmer, “eighth sky” from at passages)
