Generation

Stasis in darkness.
Then the substanceless blue—
In the picture I have of you, Melts in the wall.???

For the hearing of my heart—
It really goes.

When You Find Yourself

Reach for a hardcover book with his name
sprawled across the top. It’s only natural,
you consider, to be drawn in by philosophers whose
names you once pronounced phonetically.

All these voids

like an answer, so I keep
writing. For a night
