a second can begin
in the middle of another second
a life can live
inside of another life
we make nests
inside the homes we make
inside of houses
cities inside of cities
I use a small book
as a bookmark
an infinite loop I carry with me
you can look at them
eating one another
gods inside of other gods
a book can begin in medias res
a second can begin in medias
of another second
yellow and black goldfinches
claim a sky inside the grasses
a sky inside a greater sky
God: look at them
what I have created—
God: how many worlds
have I created?—
God: they nest inside of one another—
