Night\u2011sky lidded, sleep about to buzz with what will be
\nin the dream: Leigh’s long lanky legs
\nsawn off at the shins like Ezekiel’s angels’, her deep\u2011set eyes\u2011
\nblue beryl wheels\u2011 and human mutable beauty\u2011
\nspark and tenor of electrum.<\/p>\n
I was shy the day in group we hammered frames for stretching
\npaper\u2011 lay the wood across the table, sopped the Fabriano
\nwith water, drew it taut and fastened it with tacks. Leigh
\nshowed us how to close the corners flat as origami, and after
\nchecking mine, smiled, “You must be good at wrapping.”<\/p>\n
I watch her in the dream, deplete\u2011 force fire from her beryl
\neyes, drain white through hollow feet.<\/p>\n
