air
after midnight now & i am instituting the freight train over lombard street shut the fuck up challenge & it's
not an attack on trains but actually in defense of a silent night, soundtracked only by tires across slick
pavement & an errant thrush. it's been months since i heard a whistle sound through the stark chill
of midnight air & i swear this tree had leaves the last time i looked but here we are now, in the
waxing-days of january staring at pockets of orangegrey between shadows of branches. i will always
bemoan july's humid advances but never stop to consider the right now of it all—the way chills lurch
up unsuspecting spine, regardless of the weight of my jacket. the black-iced patches of uneven brick
sidewalk. the way a sound, any sound, cuts the sky in the first hours of a new year, ecstatic at all the
streets it may roam unencumbered.
i keep a stock of blades
to cut the sky beneath
my tongue / shaped like
every sound that was
rejected by my kin
