Ends unclutter tables.
Perfection, the economy of movement,
swings its feral, weighted blade-
and we, midstride,
are gravity,
then parting.
An odd bequeathment, oddly timed: the ears
of animals that need them.
There is a slowing down
and the spaces between things, puffed
with an intake of breath, are
invested with an unimagined relevance
and a startling instability.
Federated:  silence, speeches,
cross and crescent,
weeks of Wednesdays, all the papercuts of
memory from which our roads bleed...
Federated:  everything, and everything
suddenly humming,
saying:
Noisemakers!
Revisionists!
Apologists!
Subdividers of lots...
Your hands are not masks
nor will running in circles long delay
our engagement.
Your inner rooms, tonight, play host to an
interesting assembly of new friends.
You are leaves,
and tremble,
but quiet.
Turn around and see the coming of the straight line.
