Impending
(first published in Anti-)
When the storm moves away, as I do.
When the storm touching.
When the hand is leading.
When the hand the light.
When the eye takes what it wants.
When the eye and not touching.
The hand between slats of a chair back.
The eye releases the light.
When the storm shakes the portico
this thigh that thigh are the same.
(The storm
is a bloodthirsty thing.)
When the mouth, without effort, claims.
When the storm approaches
touching the light and not touching
the light are the same thing.
