SAFETY ZONE


The sunlight
is a dog
that bites,
barks its song

in time, in
time to float
about the floors
and windows

of this room.
Down the page,
the words,
the words be-

gin to crawl,
to play. Re-
flected in
their eyes are

wild things,
noisy feelings,
possibilities
that lead us

to the dark
planets
of another
situation.
