There is glass at the new place,

convex floor to ceiling sweet spots

among us, focal points

the principal points, nodal points. Hold

the note upside down as long as you can,

fermata

in relation to the whole.

I dropped one mistakenly in

relation to the hole

silhouette, a reversal

(hear me)

s s s

m m m

! in a sweet spot,

a cardinal point, a scale

in relation, she said, to the whole

note, mistakenly I dropped one in

a cardinal point, a scale

again from the top, she said.
