from this disturbed little evening

 

24.

by birds
lay you
you’re hurt
at last

 

25.

the dull hovering
thick
the lungs are numb
cells drum
the drop drills him ajar
 
oxygen can bend
like clocks do
 
going gone
 

26.

some little arctic
gimlets his synapses
the chillest degrees pierce
her fingers needle
pins puncture coolly
the cunning touch grapples deep
 

27.

his confusion
its own heaven
carols
til ashamed frosts puzzle in
