set. match.

telephones and graveyards
pitbullied pastors
wild soothsayer forsakers

vilified research

young concrete failure
sticky veins and parallel lives

walk me to church
drop me off for recess

absence

locks

lines

derail, rebound, no time for sound advice

we can run, rest, then watch ourselves to sleep
bury names with the questions that bare complications

no other witness to the slave of nighttime,
careless whimpers of past forlorn roundabouts

i'll keep trying, you keep your pride inventively trim.
