Such Bowers of Surrender
Night is crouched low and cannot
morning sometimes
its outline the garbage
empties itself
When he says in the first shade of blue
a blue I would not find again
or when the coyote dens around back and alert
lead to oak circle and wind-chamber
we understand less
is possible and our mouths hum with all gestures then liminal
states of erasure
The rough sketch of cold enters
through our hands
an hour and another and no one will say the future
and we will stay still
until the house leaks its prayers
Glass: A Journal of Poetry is published monthly by Glass Poetry Press.
