A supposedly burdenless list
to map it all neatly
like you have forever
to balance meticulous detail
like you have forever
to forget treachery
upgrade / like an idiot
Back to the old harbour
ships at anchor
massive iron chains
A stupid naivety
wakes you in darkness
Remember the mid tide
birds and smooth water
Only this / nothing else
~ ~ ~
passing sun over hills
damp air, quiet
a sticky cocoon
holds down limbs
gentle thoughts
stuff wakes up
the grass
tree trunks
stretch
shake
the lake
stops snoring
settles
traffic
breaks open the cloak
gradually
glance over her face
