UNTITLED POEM [SHIVER. THROUGH THE RAILING]

Shiver. Through the railing, in my pocket, candy puff and pull of air.
Lie awake and unconsidered. Where the cursor's blinking, not
I; nor you; nor another object. The dots & dashes.
Doubling over at the waist. Sweet season, some lie. I say it's
Every mother's son, every bathroom tile, knock back, sigh.


UNTITLED POEM II

Sliver. Every peck and pardon; stun gun, music; records of your days.
Leap and cover. Where the mice are gnawing-- you can't keep up.
Interment-- reglazing. Moss & shock of movement. Remembering the
Chains and chances, piece of iron, neck of sky. I say it's
Killer heat, warm singing, cool air, shy.
