tempering
•
brush against, brush with death
birds bead the balcony
dawn spires
countless stories of two kids dropped like eggs into hot water
alseep in your bed, her long beauty
every man could love so long
••
you boarded a ship
no land ho
mostly fate swims beyond character
here is pain’s bandwidth, individual as
wasted months of watching one life slip away
about the time the purple sky
found:
a Linda
a pearl
