There is no similar point at which my ideas can come to rest.

I am expecting King Lear and Isabel, the “good” daughter, with whom I hope to trap finches.

The sleek child propels herself using two sticks.

She skates on sharpened whalebones.

My sleigh is known in Dutch as a “jostle.”

There is a string or a rope or a wire running from a bird trap to the upper window of small, ruddy brick house.

The darkened upper window.

What’s going on up there?
