by Scott Andrew Christensen
the thimble-sparrow
headfirst, into
the
harsh window
like a hammer (i think)
the thimble-sparrow
in splayed spill
below
the
broken tea-cup
of this, the
roman theatre
thought
the murderous mirror
the uncourteous curtain
oh! ungracious glass
the
falling
façade,
the
other side
of
herself
