Some Trees

There's no way anybody could see so much after dark.
Smoky trees on a sooty river. A grey sky lit
from beneath the flat earth's curve. And the curve
of a river road, churned muddy under cart wheels.

Pines on a bluff, and some petty cataract, all obscured
by a maroon dress of ripples, periodic, crushed, unlike the ripples
of the road, serpentine, like a river, unlike the ripples
of the river, lazy, unforced, unlike the ripples
of her hair, billows in a wind that touches nothing else.
The sun beneath the horizon shines through a periscope up,
up, up through the earth, up through the river, up through
her torso, her chest. Shines through her forehead.

It pushes up the left corner of her lip.
