people with black shirts

people with a black shirt
quotations on it
words white on black
plenty of that
as glasses on someone's nose
or on a table
next to a book
on top of the book
a quiet place
so now you notice the strap
leftschoulder a black bra
people sitting next to each other
a slide of time towards
nowhere
flashlight exciting one
second intoxicating white
the weapon somewhere
in between nose
and genitals
their clothing no less black
if they get rid of it
FROM THE SERIES
THIRT-SIX VIEWS
OF MOUNT FUJI
why 36?
seen from the window the
outside surrounding
rather dark too
the blackness of the river
mount fuji out there
infinite depth
the carvings of come and go
think of it
in a soil of wood all of you
alive or dead
a walk inside
the fish all of you who
died after the age of innocence
history without that quiet
place a waste of
time and for that reason
called history
