Cole Swensen


Cole Swensen, poet.



The Invention of Streetlights


             noctes illustratas
             (the night has houses)
                                                      and the shadow of the fabulous
                                          broken into handfuls—these
can be placed at regular intervals,
                                                         candles
walking down the streets at times eclipsed by trees.
