Poem constantly losing letters


There is so much to cover 

Like thistles over the inlet

One moment a fire rendezvous 

The next darkness in darkness 

In the heart of a tsunami 

A missing person is lonely 

In the heart of a hurricane 

The missing people

OfTennessee cling to an ash

In the eye of a tornado

It is calm like a world 

Of missing people

Until a meteor shower 

Washes away the letters 

Of their names

I am sorry for this being weedy

And for the prickers 

Opening the side of your calf

Will nothing else suffice 

To make up this panorama

Or should we head 

Back to the search party

One remembers the evening

Escaping into a small

And beautiful sea

The pink strokes on clouds

Beneath the descending day

Warm pockets of the whole story
Told by dampening 
Rolls of this oceanic upholstery.
