In a forest of question marks you were no
bigger than an asterisk.
O the season of mists! Someone blew the hunting horn. The dictionary said you were a sign indicating an omission; then it changed the subject abruptly and spoke of "asterisms," which supposedly have to do with crystals showing a starlike luminous figure. You didn’t believe a word of it. The question marks had valentines carved on their trunks so you wouldn’t look up and notice the ropes. Greasy ropes with baby nooses. - Simic, from "The World Doesn't End"
