invisible to the naked eye

animalcules in a pool of rainwater
mysteries of the number nine
atoms quarks muons and so on
yielding the flat and smooth of this table
the first touch of our fingers
on its patient surface

the shadow side of the world
the world's curve
many kinds of hunger
your dreams beside me in the darkness

other people's lives in square gardens
brushed by the airplane's shadow
as we gaze down at
the swings and sheds
and blue green pools
jewelling up through light overcast

the old man shuffling down the sidewalk
with his small dog tied to his walker
