For this procedure,
No anesthesia allowed.
We’ll rip the bandage
to our advantage--
all our wounds go unbound.
And we’ll move slow--
that’s how we go,
in thundersnow
we can’t see.
The big explosion,
the slow corrosion follows.
We’re going backwards,
and this disaster
has no depths or hollows.
No one knows when
the crying part ends.
Tell all my friends it’s been real.
Where is my mind?
Unfolding in time
as time itself
rolls into a snowball.
And every morning
the great reborning happens.
The blurry season, sad for no reason--
sing to keep from snapping.
Hope in escrow
Fears we don't show
Like thundersnow you can't see

FALL PREVIEW ISSUE
Gravity and flesh --
add the two together, what a mess.
Thousands of ways
that the human body betrays.
But there's a letter in the mailbox,
and there's a robin in the yard
and there's the coming golden hour if the daylight feels hard.
You're here, then gone.
Everybody else will carry on.
Time is a hoax and you're the only one in on the joke.
But there's the Fall Preview Issue, and there are super-loud guitars
And there are people who would kiss you in noisy, dark bars.
And when our ship comes in, I guess we'll live
And when our ship comes in, I guess we'll live on a boat.
You tried, you slide, everything condenses to a die that
you roll, you fold, this rickety container for your soul.
But there's a coffee on the table,and that new paperback you got,
and there is passion if you're able,
and mercy if you're not.
