GEMINI HALF ASLEEP

all of it at once

pinballs

the yellow house

(potential)

hardball accusations

that could volley

key lime dreaminess

back towards

austerity,

saffron ribbons

at each wrist

watermelon planets

above the interstate

pills, quilts, napkins  

in the garbage

a hill made

from a slope

all of it at once

thumbtacks

string pulled

between depressions  

glass eyes blinking 

at the sidelines

counting to

the snap
