Oblique

birds sing in evening light,
cars commit their sins to the floor,
we all at war
trying to find the eye of the non-moon.
Secular transformations at dawn,
tea cosy upon silent square kitchen head.
Oblique reasons chatter,
discerning the weight of mother's bathroom scales,
two o'clock in the third eye
words fall in the last dance of death.
