Consider space between trees:
corridors of wind, making un-
expected turns in green leaf light
Flickering sounds, like a travel clock’s
faint tick—those sweeping seconds
caught in Spring’s tide
Drunk on the sight of dandelions, I
can’t feel the lingering cold beneath
my fingertips, which makes me
wonder if heaven is boring— will I
stand beside this cemetery’s fallen
angel & know what I’ve lost?
