Red & Inverted Converse Rose / Score the Sky

The lenses
broken, fail,
but the vision sustained
now Fire & inverted converse
cracks sanded over with practice
scan victimless vices
scan scattered screams
finally still. Converges
on apopulous
still Blood

and I remember ago
the pity
undead grace
unread paternal gaze
now,
the middle ages wash across the sky,
swelling black hopelessly beneath
the swilling gray clouds

Drawing in the dying star

and how effective

the big & the bright

the straight lines irrelevant

& poor spelling

You must answer to the calm silence

the name your famous mother

pulled from the sand.

Adolescent lovers all-over envelope

folded & bound and mailed & failed & waiting

for the sky

to arrive

on its own terms.
