A pom-pom of snow
makes contact
with the underside
of drum-shaped sled
bleach leaves
evidence of tie-dyed
perfection
a wheel's rusting rim
black turns
blue in light
of moon
no need to pull
back the curtain
peep-holes
bring the outside
in

Bleach splatters on a dark linen skirt or tablecloth.

A negative of the sun showing sun spots
