SYMMETRY
Wings make an orange hinge: speck for speck,
all eyes and teeth,
a tube body: An origami line for red paper hearts
valentines delivered to the dogbanes and crown vetch
that surround the field full of guns:
Has your eye ever met barrel?
The aching gaze crowning a black o.
A nexus. A genesis. A birth canal.
You see spirals.
The way a bomb pirouettes on its radius,
the way it blooms.
