In lieu of Dante's wood he
culled from an Italian film an
allee lined with pinnate trees Without
Kirosawa's direction he
awkwardly entered the landscape taking
only his- self He
could've walked on forever— because
it went on forever— but
after he counted one hundred trees he
turned into a field of waving tall grass the
occasional flower His
steps eventually led him to a
clearing— the
bent grass and steaming turd suggesting that
the animal had departed Sunshot
beaded down as he
pondered his next move— the
foil-green flies wanting

not wanting to land
