unpatterned tea-stains

              lunar cycle ignorance

 

exposed wasp nest

              without painted meter

 

            doorstep haileys comet

forgot to go flying

 

misplaced song chorus

            replacing coat-pocket bills

           

                        catching a boot

                                    instead of crying

                       

                        blanket wrapped day

            cocooning little trinkets

 

papercut search letters

            bleed fluent ink

 

gut punching feathers

               rip open night

 

             grief-compared-tide

implies beautiful sequence,

 

but really:

 

contorted stale concrete

laid inside your

mouth
