take off
clothes in rows
on a clothesline
drying is becoming

take off
mind ropes
drawing nooses
understanding doubt is not
understanding

now rows
mind clothes
lines and rows

some of the
clothespins broken
some lie on the cement
around doubt
reason is broken
a token for a dream
is not understanding

on the ships
the despairing jump in
blue into blue
i see no clothes
on the drowning
reason does not
become reason
understanding reason is not
understanding
