You wrung me out, slow
degrees, absent engine
was it not supposed to
be a passing mention
come around playing thief,
never draw attention, smoke
alarm tugging sleeves
to ease the tension
I’ve been waiting for
you, decidedly bruised
(what a notion)
you crack me open as
you knot the lariat
[We] fool around feeling brave
a worthless action to measure
up, full of grace or satisfaction
I know my thoughts/place,
let me write retractions
it matters not how long
it takes—tell me what
the facts is
(a dreadful notion)
I swear to you nothing’s
gonna work out right
The birds
are all aloft, just like
the day before; avoided
long enough; what do
you take me for.
