Nico puts his
daily harvest
on the corner of the table
tells us where he found
his item of today
an empty shell
that held
paper to roll cigarettes
on the pavement just
outside the studio of Klaus
who faded into yesterday
who showed him
how to look
at things that drift ashore
the labyrinth
of Klaus
reflects a voice in loss
just beside the river
red tulips float in circles
