From A Poet, Dying
I’m fine.
I’ll get scanned.
I’ll make my own way
there.
It’s different now.
It could have been
a dark misfortune:
a silent wage, the skin
of sagging doors
a bone's fine curve
thin translucent fingers dragging
the last curls of pencil smoke
across a slow page
the sleep of words fallen
into gurgles of a stream
the unmoving grunt of trees
a quiver of songbirds lost
without the trace of air.
