I'd really see it, and I did--
The light was lavender. The unpainted houses
were almost the color of the air
air color, almost---sodden (this was the South)

a piece of broken mirror to each picket top

a crazy iconography decoration why not decorate morning?
Irregular jagged jagg'd disconnected mad
