Byways and One Way Streets

Disheveled Histories

​

​

Stranded Way

​

Left to covet

a stopped watch.

Every hour is

spare.  A silk bag

of undone pearls.

Dislocation whittled

inside war's tenacity.

​

Honey Drive

​

But how can 

we afford this road.

Feedback crash.

Some are strung out

on their own honey.

Trundle waves are 

four short cords.

Less than a smoke.

Marvelous air,

scaffolds are being

built for home.

​

Morning Alley

​

Who went running

despite all her lame

excuses. Amplify your

boiling. Point

out what depends 

on being held.

Meet the ear

at its war, another plan

advances into morning darkness.
