Ironing stained glasses
scruffy, growth of magnitude soul
of every somber
night comes forth
suspended on this land
flood of
living , gasping
corpses
rise and walk : bend
pick
one shoe up
fold : clothes / string / dirty nails unbuckle
crusted toes with blood, frosted
moon black
eye of the city inflamed
a year
with a year
icy mud feathers plank
perishable but closer underneath
*
When
forest call
on each step
streaks
upon walls, walls
birds depart, river sink
to depth of the country, the land all turn into: prayers and songs
the orchard
of life
respirate unceasing
glare now: wide open
