impala once i had
how the car has changed
in those twisted slippery years
in the cliffwalk stumble plunge

for only so much of it
i can account
a few risky ventures
some thoughtlessness

i did come in time to regret
but what is regret
when all about you burns
impala burns

impala for fuel
in a year like no other
Tlön

And stones to dust, and dust to nought at all..."

where Westgate's fall holds court
sound of a car door shut
sound of releasing cork

my words to be ransomed slow
but not yet lost to search
back-into-pumpkin coach
years without thinking of her
