Perspective
Distance can be condensed,
compressed,
so that it lies flat as paper
on paper.
Gaping cathedrals, their ceilings
like flipped-
over, suspended pirate ships.
Sloping
hills and lonely orchards.
Stairwells
leading up or down,
the faint
edge of land across
the lake.
Immensities yield to the page,
clumsy
hands tacking them onto
horizon.
