FIVE
POEMS, Untitled
1
What
if
blindness
terror
loneliness
the
secrets
of
one’s
heart
leave
no
room
for
regret
A
life
that
is
going
to
happen
but
can
only
be
described
2
What
is
the
truth
in
your present
From
the
ends of
the
earth
I
hear
your
call
The
poet
says
out
of
the
crack
comes
light
a
sharpened
tongue
3
A
face
far
off
steps
across
my
vision
watching
the
dawn
above
the
treeline
unfiltered
thwack
of
morning
at
3:33
Who
goes
comes
here
on
a crush
of
wings
Phaedra
and
longed-for
rock
of sleep
The dead
mortal
as dawn
while
the
clock
clicks
tap-tap-tap
syncs
their
murmurs
4
Sadness
earthbound
seeks
the
pine
air
of
silence
that
passes
through
the
trees
the
restfulness
of
somehows
somewhere
5
Mornings
he
is
tired
of
everything
The
minute
monotony
of
living
everything
just
piling
up
Once
he
believed
that
if
he
wanted
something
done
right
he
could
do
it himself
but
now
all
will
is
gone
his
sense
of
culpability
ground
down
