(China) (placed on the table) (left rings)
(erring) (I’ve been thinking) (I am not) (this)

(he put on) (teeth) (placed on the table)
(a face) (no) (Madame Butterfly) (bows) (a face)

(as if nature) (constructed) (these) (shadow play)
(of recycled plastic) (edge) (that foreign body) (away)

(again I) (possessed) (red) (and) (light) (fractured) (like hands)
(sunset) (Rooney) (am I) (this) (am I) (a face) (am I)

(again I) (and the figs) (left rings) (no) (forming) (away)
