I have

a large ghost. 

Precipitant 

& smooth. 

Not learned, old 

and knowing but 

willowed in infant rush, 

In periphery like a bald 

pup, often hiding, 

tepid vest thin for the 

moment, 

in a packed deflation. 

Sad, and foreign: a shaved 

panda, 

a twin of violence coying 

in its buff squint.
