It should all of it fit.
Even all the worst
you’d never have do with it.
It should all of it fit.
Even all the worst
you’d never have do with it.
Where the wind doubles back
and the same rain falls twice
The wind against
was hard till it bent our
road the other way
So what I did was swap out death for life.
I poked through and (for life was not all)
down in around and out again,
stitching a garment for every weather.
I rifled through the drawers of death.
I took back all my letters.
Death she never wrote me back.
She let me hang here ever.
The leaves of all I’ve read
stir as I walk, reproach
me with their dryness, beg
to be tramped
under into something good.
A little man fried in oil
limbs in motion
stilled by the heat
Bugs unlike birds
do not flee my
innocent
port and shutter
I have troubled much
with death, have trod
with feet bigger
than all my life combined.
Stay me, Lord!
Hold me here to
pray like a tree.
The heart could use some
racking as well
