Horizon

Icons and mementos:
Dishes, sheets, a map,
Summer on our clothes,
Quiet as a nap,

Dirt Devil, Dustbuster:
Normal appliances,
But meant, like stardust,
To sashay with sciences;

Daisies and weather,
Our faces grown
From deeper ways
And phrases together.

Nothing apart
Makes sense:
Without the start,
The accidents,

The hazards and wildness—
And the keeping track—
Passion’s amiss,
And blood just bric-a-brac.
