Conversation


Horizon

bound by


road signs

& wires.


Low tide:

wide swaths


of mud

rub in.


Words, we

have none.


We're lost

in the tone


splayed

between


shadows

bending


with the

wind's pitch.





Listening to Joseph Ceravolo's Home Recordings


In the room

of a memory


of a room.

Static


brackets each

syllable.


Afternoon

effaces the floor


while the

pills take


effect.

All I will


amount to:

the hours


these walls

enclose


as song.
