Field guide No. 753
Tiny black pore swallows the dunes
The desert, going down the plug.
From above, pale dunes stretch and streak towards a single small black hole, as if the whole desert is draining into it. It is in no hurry.
Field noteA hole the size of a coin drawing in a desert the size of a county. The streaks show it going, all at once.

Desert sand from brass mailboxesEach box holds a few letters, yet pours out a desert. More comes out than fits in.
Mountain through the needle’s eyeA needle’s eye fits thread. This one fits a mountain range, which is also, somehow, the thread.
Spare roomBed frames leave a hand’s height of dark; this one hides a lit hallway longer than the room above it.
Marbleous surfA rideable swell takes an ocean behind it. The marble supplies about a thimble.
