there is a swelling
deep beneath
the tissue that the sun scars

its rolls in great waves
like an unveiling
like a red carpet affair
searching for an oracle
a place to sedate
the miles per hour
that race in circles
as you stand still

a home
where it can find
more than a charter

wandering

masquerading
as the undamaged
inverting
the abandonment

in flight
from the words she could never
speak
from the words
that you spoke for her
the phrases
that drew things
to a close

alone
doesn’t quite identify
the state of mind
that you are trying not to adhere to
but making sense
out of anything
regarding
these
matters of the heart
these
crossed wires
and burning fields
are better left
to poets
who are buried
inside books
and men
who live
outside the bottle
