Rose Hobart*

Glass as varied time as if the moment criss-crossed

Details of images launched at silent speed and the blue tint

Of smoke the lunar eclipse of rock splashing into the pond

Concentric then to be forgotten the wrap-around view

Of the city on a platter understanding the breadth of it

For a smile nervous laughter and a long cigarette

Attendant of the frames the confusion of the noise

Were it matter nothing lasts fade to black
