thhhhhhhreeee

there

I never

No no no no I never

wait

.

I /// never ///

–

the sky is quilted

and is stuttering

while it asks

a few more lines

didn’t we leave this

behind?

-

There’s not enough

silence

to cover

the scent of an old lover

lingering grazing

on a stranger’s seatbelt

-

the audience heckles

and I yell and sweat

but it’s nothing

just a wooden sign

and a pale horse

too slow to run

-

Carmen said

all your poems

are about longing

I wonder

-

ivory horse

black mare

cloudburst

snowfall

-

to hold onto a memory
