or heavily, a beaten ocean
sent to the sky on swollen fists,
a white blood thickened ground.
wind with a warm tongue

there is some fear
that this sweet, ash rain
is the Devil come to love us,
seeing us pallid,
pitiful sons to be sure.

bad habits of dirty hands
yellowed as we drowsed and slept.
even Paving Men lay stone-dead

our unraveling body
Winter, luke-warm,
is made naked too soon;
the sun wakes quieted crickets
to witness sticky, new breath.
but in your bones, above the heart,
you wait to cripple.
no more alive than an earthworm
tiring of the insanity of being his own wife,
perpetuating their bed.
and not one birth but
the vernal food of your own remains,
our heated ghost in the risen soil.
new flesh
bathes beneath the dim, bird-fractured sky
and bones of snow numb our limbs to panic.

an oceanic cold staggered in
grasping his bellypain
supposing he'd likely be
only a skinny trickle next year
and a languorous drought
to finish us off.
he looked longingly after each cigarette but
you've never seen him so faithful,
tired, industrial, drowning out the hours
(eastern salt makes him itch
and eats his patience.)
i watch him
i warm as i think
we've killed so many old men
what's one more.
and this one the oldest,
glimpsing spring by winter absent
worrying
orphaning us all
to pray in the heat.

We know somewhere subsists:
this chap by the platform tracks
toddling old woman, squirming
in waiting, as their eyes
dodder amiably down tunnel.
The blind strength of a train
a majusculus and blunted refrain
humming up the three length.
Mrs. Evens, extending herself
apeice two wilted plum ankles
charily stiffens her knee.
Our gentleman, in haste, makes one quiet stride then
bumps, sniggering, her rear side.
Giving her first a rifleous laugh

What last thought of hers now lost
past those who read The Times.
Only a name in Sec. D., Obituaries,
resigns to record Evelyn's memory.
