WITHOUT REPAIR
incident music grieves the weather
our relationship walks
the wild of all living
I keep the world to
our relationship walks
the wild of all living
I keep the world to
loss in my chest sprawls
about the banks
tall insults
and injuries to order
pitch out into space
a bird stammers the air
figures where to build then
shatters in the shade
silence
beyond the window flickers
BRIGHT WITHSTANDING
fields are walking
Spring into Summer
Spring into Summer
dawn distance
linger down the road
faded stars
littered glass on the shoulder
day’s scattered blank
flickers through the visible
your lips faint calling
