BODIES OF WATER


Evenings are like this,
you know. You
used to tell it
when the street
light crept in
and the trees went
dim. You
remember
the cold
to be
devastating.


No, me. That was
a simpler
time the past
is always
easier you
say over and
overhear it
on the train.


What? That.
The summer we spent
used,
wasted,
waiting.


The mornings were
clear and the
trees were
full—
contained, us, & red.


Dimly sweeten,
dimly call,
remember,
invent
me, some me,
rely on it.




EDGE


i.



clarity—a sign of death
pulling an east
a north
where the city meets the edge.


the city is a grid
the city is an axis
                    a tunnel
                    for wind


stilts raise buildings and
winds pull waves from water


constructed nature
a shoreline         pushed out.







ii.



the city arcs around it
extends its limbs
weathered stone


among it
depth


where
the lake once stood.



LOOK


I used to believe
I could avoid
the presence of loss.
Instead I am always
circling absence.
I look back
from a new angle.
All my truths sound
like one lie
and so I move
them elsewhere.
You will be asked
to do this,
and it will hurt.
