warm apple
left in the car for days

VII.VI
One section of the wood serves as a fulcrum
the other carves half-circles in the snow
and in this way she moves like a simulacrum
and makes the patterns of a UFO.
It takes her several hours for the rooftop
to be covered by these semi-circular line
and so carefully she covers every footstep
with her makeshift brush of strung-together pine.
and when the six-flat surface has been covered
and she's back at her own skylight starting point
there's nothing left to show she ever bothered
to investigate the other tenant's joint.
