Paul Hoover

Excerpts from
Audience in the Dark


***
Where those
from paradise

go on vacation—
over six hills

and into
the essential.

What are
boats doing

out on
the sound?


*
Being too specific
is never

quite the case,
for instance

one’s weakness
for a new

beguiling window
open on

its glass.


*
If the
camera moves

a fiction
is created.

Blur of
a face

on a
perfect elevator.
