poem for January 4

the lemniscate 1, 2, 3, 4, 5............Pn

I met a mountain lion at the gateway to the west

where a third of infinity twisted along a casino river

We didn't talk we couldn't be quiet

He smoked a cigarette gave me guru answers

a sized and sanctioned escape route

I didn't know it ventilated in

a fire-wind path where cats could wander

make a crumb-filled den talk rescue policies

Beware the spiritual I traced in his fur

beware the ordinary We left an offering

of irrational numbers hand-lettered plans

cashews and apricots messages arched and silver
