Choked today
on blank Tudor boldness
as broken neighbours
sucked through the seams
of the s___ they build
with ostentatious walls.

Smoked today,
fifth time since 1988,
with kids I knew
through springs,
then again in falls,
but they're not kids at all.

And then it came-our
world in my chest-set
up by your silent
residue in my room,
then in my car.

But for today, too late.
Some business I guessed.
No cancellation,
as if I knew
how busy you are.

To know a love like
subtle brios,
eclipsed crescendos,
some swallowed whole.
some swallowed whole.

Like things I have to look at:
red hair and Rothkos,
as if the angels
just have to show.
just have to show.

In fairness to you
I must
revise this romance to rust,
trade in this stash for cash,
trade in these goods for ash.
In fairness to you
I will
stare the paint right off this sill,
beat down the floor with my feet 'till
you and I have time to be still.
you and I have time to be still.
you and I have time to be still.
