BEFALLEN
The violent discord in the sick room:
sleep-deprived, deprived of sleep,
the same as or different?
To be a bridge builder,
you must educate your nerves.
Somehow we got from Tucson
to Los Angeles via elevator.
Anything to restore mystery
and unexplain the universe.
It’s always 72 degrees to keep
from jumping off a building.
FABLE
A messenger arrived
from a country
colonized by magpies.
I have two sons, he said,
one whose name
means wolf
and one whose name
means laughter.
It felt like rain,
what’s called
a baby’s ear moon,
false angel wing.
They hanged him
in a cornfield.
The world is made
of tiny struggling things.
LAST STAND
A black moon.
The human cries
of wounded horses.
Soldiers forsaken
by their officers.
The photos that no
longer look like you.
