Organizing Flowers into a Bouquet


Under Wednesday's umbrella
We shape our eternal dress
Did you avoid trying to say that
Glowing in jars of youth.
Breathing out layer-cakes.
We've grown silent
In these last careful months.
The marshland of notebooks
Many remaining instruments
And the hint of citrus twist 
Our words into a particular curve.
This one here and that one there.
Is much of what it all comes down to.
Until stepping away we see 
A thought no one 
not even you
Knew you could think.

The Current Stare of Affairs

It was a sound  way off on the green lawn A bank of birds A signature somewhere Like any line Might be my last I walked by the panzer tank  ...
