1.

in anticipation of morning: airlessness, undone-ness — to taste nothing

resynchronization takes time

2.

we wished a thickened glove to treat our splinting frame with noise

a practice of gentle aversion:

3.

where do we greet the lesser heart of us who loved too hungry

the shifting, the mutable — all that the absolute excludes.

4.

the years yearn as badly as we do

on cloudy days if moved to constant light

5.

patience not a game of laquered need

Detailed, urgent; once in a while, selfless.
