to prepare
i dialogue
with you in my mind
as i assume and find
the worst.
to repair
i distance
all known reality
that shown through brevity
& the worst
is you
standing close, still. to me
as i assume
the worst
of you.
who is worst? the one who hurts.
wash them, wade them, try them on. step in mud and purge the flood. stitch them finely and still you have the same words in different shades. WORDS NEVER WEAR THAT GO TO NO WHERE.

plodding days
rain spittle and train 's brittle travel
on tracks of iron
speak me softly into the joy
the tip of my heart had temporarily
forgotten.
